I agree, that's why I just said "the effect of" for the usage asked about.

I comfortable with the man page explanation that was already posted, and
then the concat command man page an example. It's enough reality for me!

          Eval  takes one or more arguments, which together comprise
          a Tcl script containing one or more commands.   Eval  con-
          catenates  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).

>From the concat man page:

          For example, the command
                    concat a b {c d e} {f {g h}}
          will return
                    a b c d e f {g h}
          as its result.
