I must be living on a different wavelength. From the help file:
"Eval takes one or more arguments, which together comprise a Tcl script
containing one or more commands. Eval concatenates all its arguments in
the same fashion as the concat command, passes the concatenated string to
the Tcl interpreter recursively, and returns the result of that evaluation
(or any error generated by it)."
Probably I'm misunderstanding what's being said. Below, we get back from
eval one single list whose length is 4:
% llength [eval list a b c d]
4
