How do I make "set" quiet?

Is there a way to quiet down the "set" command? I don't want it to
automatically print when I do a set.

Ex:

=>set a 12
12
=>

I want:

=> set -quiet a 12
=>

I have a procedure that I run and I don't want the clutter of all the
set command returns values.

Thanks,
Phil

Hi Phil,

C:\WINNT\system32>tclsh84
% rename set oset
% proc set {var {val {}}} {
if {$val == {}} {
return [uplevel 1 oset $var]
} else {
uplevel 1 oset $var $val
}
return
}
% set a 3
% set a
3
%

Eh, why? It is just always the last command that returns output
to the screen in interactive mode. In a script, this is all
just moot anyway.

Note that this behaviour only expresses itself in the interactive
shell -- all command results are sent to stdout.
Tcl script execution is quiet however.
