The namespace related C api is undoc'ed and not even exported,
although it is publicly named.

This involves many functions currently in tkInt.decls (about 20),
and numerous structures in tkInt.h.

The mystery of "de" in the Tcl'ers chat is solved.
Rolf Ade e-mailed me, and claimed that identity.
Sadly, now that he's seen the size of this 
project, he's not able to complete it.  So, all
you other volunteers, move on un-impeded!

in the original bugreport, it mentions 'tkint.h' and
tkint.decls.  That is, of course, tcl, not tk, right?

Secondly, which functions, exactly, did people have in mind
to export?  All of 111 to 131 in tclInt.decls?

Ack!  De writes and tells me that I must have her
confused with some other Tcl'ers chat character.
Sorry about that!  Memory failure on my part.

So whose arm was I twisting....?

Will the real sucke.....uhh, TIP drafter please step
forward?

During a Tcl'ers chat session a few weeks back,
De Clarke expressed interest in this project too.
I think she was planning to get teh attached material
from Michael McLennan and start drafting a TIP.
Keep her notified of any progress here.

<[email protected]>, IIRC.

The behaviour of imported commands with respect to
(Tcl_GetCommandInfo, Tcl_GetCommandName, ...) may cause
misunderstandings and requires documentation.

Also: TclGetOriginalCommand may need to be public too in
order to let the extension writer work cleanly with imported
commands.

(based on a chat with Jeff)

Attached are the original docs from itcl for these 
functions.  They need to be updated to coincide with what 
was actually done for the core, but it's a start.
