Tcl 8.5 (at least) has a new {expand} keyword, adding another rule to  
tcl parsing.

http://tcl.activestate.com/cgi-bin/tct/tip/157.html describes it.

The rule is, basically: if a word starts with the string {expand},  
it's treated like :flat -- whatever word that immediately follows it  
is expanded in place. Here's an example from the tcl suite namespace  
tests:

     catch {namespace delete {expand}[namespace children :: test_ns_*]}
