If you check http://wiki.tcl.tk/ased , you will notice several problem
reports with the latest ased.kit. And if you look at the error
closely, what you will see is that ased.kit makes use of the Tcl 8.5
feature {*} . However, most of the 8.5 tclkits do not yet support that
notation, I think. I think they still expect {expand} - only in patch
8.5a7 does the {*} start working, I think.

Just thought I would mention here, in case people stymied by the
"extra characters" error message mentioned in the error, that if you
can find a new enough tclkit, that type of error can be resolved.

Also, I suggest that developers making use of {expand}/{*} code
defensively so that there's a catch and a fall back when that feature
isn't available to the user...
