Essentially. Though *after* I get it back from Tcl and before I pass it to the
openocd commands, I strip all args after the arg starting w/'#'.

This is equivalent to:
set i 8
# this works
i.e. the comment is the beginning of a new statement
> set i 8 # Does not work
this is a syntax error. Tcl does not support args at the end of a line.

Here the postprocessing saves you.

OpenOCD does not have a tcl shell, but rather a telnet session
to pick up a line of text that is passed to tcl.

that's a bug I guess. I'd commit a patch that fixes it. For now I've committed
a description to trunk/bugs.txt
