Thanks. But the Sah article is not accessible,
and his homepage makes no reference to it.

Regarding the Stallman article, it's a quite vague,
and it's not sure one can extrapolate from their TECO experience
to Tcl.

About the Connoly one, the namespace issue seems to
be solved by [incr Tcl]. But what about that "interpreted
multiple times"? Is it just an efficiency issue, or a semantic
nightmare (maybe both)?

What about dynamic scoping?

BTW, I just found:
