This is all Tcl::Tk stuff, and pkg_require has a more special purpose
internally than external (to the user). Whereas packageRequire is just
translated by Tcl::Tk to the Tcl call [package require ...], pkg_require is
used internally with a special cache for Tcl::Tk itself.
I would saw packageRequire should be recommended for end users, but
pkg_require can be used still internally.
