TIP#348: SEND IT BACK.
The basic idea behind this TIP is good, but there is
an IMO fatal flaw as currently specified: it introduces
two new magic globals, $::tcl::errorStack and $::tcl::useErrorStack.
Tcl already has too many of these (errorInfo, errorCode,
tcl_precision, env, ...); this is recognized by now as
having been a bad idea in all cases.
I'd also suggest targeting this for 8.7. 8.6 is supposed to
be in feature-freeze mode, so that it can be released.
Every last-minute addition delays the release.
If "SEND IT BACK" is (still) not a valid vote, then I'm
sadly forced to say:
TIP#348: NO.
