From what I can remember, and I have not used it for a while, but it
was part of the documented API for some widgets. Usually composite
widgets that people have implemented on top of the base Tk stuff.

As I say it has been a while since I have used it so I may be
mis-remembering and/or things could have changed. But this is not
the only place that I have seen tie $$ref used.
