1)

The volume of postings continues to climb, though much of it is
confined to one specific mutant thread:

In case you’ve somehow missed the mega-thread replicating faster
than a dozen rabbits, the discussion on including an
Object-Oriented (or some component-based) framework with Tcl 8.4
continues on like a freight train. It’s important, and may
seriously affect you (for better or worse), so you should check at
least some of it out:

experiences, and suggestions on the state of tcllib:

STL:
