Sure, since strings in Tcl are just lists and nested lists are a legal
construct:
set my_list {1 2 {3 4}}

Alas, yes.
if {conditional} { body }

For example in this case the braces do not act as SQ-Delimiters so the
conditional and body do undergo variable interpolation.

That's why I need the help :)

Also I still think (until someone says differently) that the use of
single-quotes in the default NEdit Tcl language recognition pattern as
a SQ-Delimiter is just plain wrong. I wonder if any NEdit developer
who knows Tcl reads this mailing list? :)

Thanks anyway Tony.
