[issue25464] Tix HList header_exists should be "exist"

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Subsequent to me suggesting a test, the 3.6 doc gained this: "Deprecated since version 3.6: This Tk extension is unmaintained and should not be used in new code." This answers my question about using it in IDLE. Good to apply this anyway, but no test is fine

[issue25464] Tix HList header_exists should be "exist"

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: It looks as a bug in Tix. All other Tcl, Tk and Tix commands (except "assemblecode") use "exists", and "header exists" is documented. Perhaps we should workaround this bug. But I doubt about renaming header_exists to header_exist. As for tests, I'm working

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: (Rob: FYI, a crash is something worse than just an exception.) I know very little about tix, so I don't know whether the bug is really passing 'exists' or that not being accepted. I think it is the latter. The offending function in class HList is def
