[iqokraqn] Tcl shell

After getting used to it, I really like Tcl's approach of "everything is a string" as well as working directly with it in tclsh or wish (usually wrapped in rlwrap).  Consider building a command line shell that works this way, a replacement for bash or tcsh, etc.

What impedance mismatches are there?

Certainly a prototype can be immediately created by redefining Tcl's standard "unknown" to look in the filesystem for a program.

Maybe combine this idea with Graphical shell.
