** Discussion of TIPS **

   [Tip 479%|%479]: Add Named Procedures as a New Command in Tcl (procx)
   Do we really want to thus complicate the declaration of a proc? This seems quite clumsy. We could just use something like [init]. Right now, [init] is quite flexible and could probably be shorted (the -using stuff seems needlessly general) but it would be less verbose and easier to read than the suggested syntax and will require no extensions of the interpreter. If a more flexible scheme overall is desired, we could eliminate the arguments in the declaration entirely but for an implied "args" and use the system in [Processing Arguments]. This allows addressing by position, by name, and even includes a means of creating upvars without the need of separate upvar statements. [Larry Smith]

   [Tcl Improvement Proposal #401%|%401]: '''Comment Words with Leading {#}''':   make it possible to place a comment in the position of an individual word.

   [TIP 424%|%424]: '''Improving `[exec]`''', by [Alexandre Ferrieux]:   A new syntax for `[exec]` (and by extension, for `[open]`) to make it possible to pass arbitrary values, even those that look like special `[exec]` operators, as arguments to the executed program.
