  * resolution:  => wontfix


Comment:

 Tcl doesn't handle it, nothing we can do. As a simple test just create a
 file with a BOM:

 {{{
 puts "hello world"
 }}}

 tclsh will generate the following error:

 {{{
 invalid command name "puts"
     while executing
 "puts "hello world""
     (file "hello.tcl" line 1)
 }}}
