Tcl encodes all data types as strings. I've been bitten by this 
before... You write a Tcl script, it works fine, and then it encounters 
some input that happens to contain a curly-bracket or a dollar sign and 
Weird Crap happens...

[I'm sure there's a way to avoid this. It's just tricky, and it makes me 
nervous.]
