So I read the whinges about [expr] and thought for a while,
and then this popped into my head unbidden:

tclsh% proc unknown args {uplevel 1 [linsert $args 0 expr]}

Tcl never ceases to amaze and delight.  Now I have a
desk calculator any time I want one, right there on the
tclsh command line.  [Yes, I know it's far from perfect...]
