Description:
By analogy with 1671880 [variable] should be modified to permit no arguments.

This enhancement would be useful for the following idioms:

this is done.

Isn't this already done in the TIP #323 implementation?

This looks like a valuable RFE to me, I'd even extend it to [global], [upvar], [namespace upvar]. But it does require a simple TIP, as the docs (and tests) need changing.

Since [variable] takes alternating
arguments to represent varname and values,
I think the idiom is:

proc foo {dict} {
    variable {*}$dict
}

proc foo {args} {
  variable {*}$args
}

is the idiom I was thinking of.
