Although the main purpose of a Tcl interface
in Prolog is to have the access to the Tk toolkit,
sometimes it might make sense to use Tcl on its own:
- The associative arrays of Tcl are quite sophisticated.
The corresponding mechanism in ECLiPSe are arrays or records,
but someone might prefer the Tcl's way of accessing the data.
- String processing, regular expressions and the like are much easier
in Tcl than in Prolog, although not as efficient as in Perl.
