**vutil: Tcl Variable Utilities** I created a package that handles TclOO garbage collection, introduces the concept of object variables, and provides a type system framework. The following code demonstrates some of the features of the package: ====== package require tin tin import vutil # Factory procedure (creates objects) proc foo {who} { new string message {hello }; # initialize object append $message $who; # modify directly with Tcl commands return [$message --> &]; # copy to shared object and return } [foo {world}] --> bar; # create from procedure $bar = [string toupper [$bar]]; # value assignment $bar print; # additional object methods ====== The package is a [Tin] package, so if you have Tin installed, the "tin import vutil" command will install the package on the fly, as well as load the package and import the commands.
