Yes, someone who likes languages with highly reconfigurable
syntax would perhaps like Tcl for that reason. Personally
I find that Python provides as much flexibility as I need
or want almost all the time.
Python's keyword arguments are quite useful for designing
little sub-languages for certain contexts. Tk's option
settings for widgets map naturally onto keyword arguments,
for example.
