backquote in TCL

[ddd]

Hi,

do people use Hume Smith's backquote implementation for TCL?

see: http://wiki.tcl.tk/4899

I am interested in what cases developers actually use it.

I mostly use [string map] to do the various substitutions
necessarily for this sort of work. For instance:

proc print {x} [string [list MYPROG $myprog] {
puts "(MYPROG) value of x is $x"
}

to (lazily) make a print routine that prints the name
of my program.

The technique is very simple and elegant in my view.

Regards,

Arjen
