ReproducibleScript:
    interp create -safe
    interp0 eval {info commands}
    
    



ObservedBehavior:
    The on-line help is missing a bunch of newer commands like binary,
    package, and namespace.
    



DesiredBehavior:
    The correct list of commands available in a safe interpreter is:
    
    after append array binary break case catch clock close concat continue
    encoding
    eof error eval expr fblocked fcopy fileevent flush for foreach format
    gets global if incr info interp join lappend lindex linsert list llength
    lrange lreplace lsearch lsort namespace package pid proc puts read
    regexp regsub rename return scan seek set split string subst switch tell
    time trace unset update uplevel upvar variable vwait while
    
    Also, vwait is listed as hidden, it's not.
    




Evaluate if commands should be safe, make them safe if needed, then update docs.  03/23/1999 18:51 - surles -

Here's a patch bringing the docs up to date, and adding
some discussion of autoloading and package loading in
safe interps.

Assigning to maintainer for review.

BTW, Why is safe(n) referred to as both "Safe Tcl" and 
"Safe Base"?  Can't we pick just one name for this 
mechanism?

Re-opened.  The list of commands documented as present in a
safe interp is wrong again.

Claimed present, but not:history
Claimed hidden, but not:vwait
Present, but not listed:time
Hidden, but not listed:encoding

Not in safe interp at all (doc this?): auto_execok,
auto_import, auto_load, auto_load_index,
auto_qualify, tclLog, unknown
