In an earlier application, I did the following to get data specific to a file
into its own namespace:
namespace eval app {
set doc $filename
namespace eval ::app::${filename} {
set fd [open $filename]
set all [split [read $fd] \n]
}
}
When looking up file specific data, I had to do:
set index [eval lsearch -exact \
[format {$::app::%s::all} $Current_file] $pattern]
