Description:
Although altering Tcl.n is fraught with danger, nevertheless the following three improvements seem 
appropriate:

1. Modify rule 1 to clarify the two phases of Tcl execution.

2. Modify rule 7 to clarify the ${} syntax and how it interacts with array variables.

3. Change the quotation marks to the neutral double quote character (").  This is consistent with 
Tcl's Unicode, I18N, and cross-platform focus.

Also, the clarification of ${…} and arrays was done (differently) some time ago too, so the only thing relevant was the tweaking to the description of the phases of execution. Applied that part to the trunk.

The quote marks got changed to the correct paired quote marks some time back, as part of a little project I did to improve the rendering of of Tcl's documentation as HTML.

The change to clarify the two phases of Tcl execution was made to rule 2, not rule 1.

Lowered priority, since the old Tcl.n has worked for years.
