New description:

 This patch adds a new variant +corefoundation to tcl, which enables
 building with CoreFoundation support. This is related to the outstanding
 ticket #22954, which has a patch file to enable CoreFoundation but not as
 a variant.  That solution was never merged into the tcl port, which means
 that the problem described in #22954 reoccurs with every update to the tcl
 port (e.g. I just had to re-patch the portfile for the Nth time due to the
 upgrade to 8.5.11 today).

 Creating a variant for corefoundation will fix this problem once and for
 all.

Comment:

 Why is making a variant better than doing it all the time, as shown in the
 patch in #22954?
