why don't use something like this: http://wiki.tcl.tk/5598
you can mark workarounds directly on code, and use this tool to extract the
information :)

I do think you're right and that it would be very ueful, unfortunately,
I'm also pretty sure that in the end, we
won't be able to do it. We can't even keep a TODO list in the wiki, so
think about keeping that kindd of thing
documented!
We could try if you're willing to drive this, I wouldn't mind, I just
think you shouldn't have high hopes over
the success of this 'adventure'.
p.s.: DEMANDS_ATTENTION is not only a workaround, but also a feature
enhancement, but it needs to be well tested
otherwise it could be considered a bug. I wanted to talk about it on the
ML but I'm just far too busy lately...
sorry.
