Ah, but this is Philip, so he'll just point out that tclsh supports
it, which of course means that everything else should, too. :)
Damn right. And I might mention that I've suggested elsewhere that
both CoreFoundation and Tcl developers take a serious look at the
descriptorType field of an AEDesc (and what follows from its
implemtation). For OS X the benefits of that in CoreFoundation for
Carbon, Cocoa (toll free bridging), and AppleEvents, and all related
technologies would be huge.
