Interp creation and aliasing

::interp::snitLink path methodlist
::interp::snitDictLink path methoddict
This package provides a number of commands for the convenient creation
of Tcl interpreters for highly restricted execution.
-
::interp::createEmpty ? path ?
-
This commands creates an empty Tcl interpreter and returns it
name. Empty means that the new interpreter has neither namespaces, nor
any commands. It is useful only for the creation of aliases.
If a path is specified then it is taken as the name of the new
interpreter.
-
::interp::snitLink path methodlist
-
This command assumes that it was called from within a method of a snit
object, and that the command mymethod is available.
It extends the interpreter specified by path with aliases for
all methods found in the methodlist, with the alias directing
execution to the same-named method of the snit object invoking this
command.
Each element of methodlist is actually interpreted as a command
prefix, with the first word of each prefix the name of the method to
link to.
The result of the command is the empty string.
-
::interp::snitDictLink path methoddict
-
This command behaves like ::interp::snitLink, except that it
takes a dictionary mapping from commands to methods as its input, and
not a list of methods.
Like for ::interp::snitLink the method references are actually
command prefixes.
This command allows the creation of more complex command-method
mappings than ::interp::snitLink.
The result of the command is the empty string.
This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain
