 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .PP
-These routines allows a C procedure to take a snapshot of the current
-state of an interpreter so that it can be restored after a call
-to \fBTcl_Eval\fR or some other routine that modifies the interpreter
-state.  There are two triplets of routines meant to work together.
+These routines save the state of an interpreter before a call to a routine such
+as \fBTcl_Eval\fR, and restore the state afterwards.
 .PP
-The first triplet stores the snapshot of interpreter state in
-an opaque token returned by \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR.  That token
-value may then be passed back to one of \fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR
-or \fBTcl_DiscardInterpState\fR, depending on whether the interp
-state is to be restored.  So long as one of the latter two routines
-is called, Tcl will take care of memory management.
+\fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR saves the parts of \fIinterp\fR that comprise the
+result of a script, including the resulting value, the return code passed as
+\fIstatus\fR, and any options such as \fB\-errorinfo\fR and \fB\-errorcode\fR.
+It returns a token for the saved state.  The interpreter result is not reset
+and no interpreter state is changed.
 .PP
-The second triplet stores the snapshot of only the interpreter
-result (not its complete state) in memory allocated by the caller.
-These routines are passed a pointer to \fBTcl_SavedResult\fR
-that is used to store enough information to restore the interpreter result.
-\fBTcl_SavedResult\fR can be allocated on the stack of the calling
-procedure.  These routines do not save the state of any error
-information in the interpreter (e.g. the \fB\-errorcode\fR or
-\fB\-errorinfo\fR return options, when an error is in progress).
+\fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR restores the state indicated by \fIstate\fR and
+returns the \fIstatus\fR originally passed in the corresponding call to
+\fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR.
 .PP
-Because the routines \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR,
-\fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR, and \fBTcl_DiscardInterpState\fR perform
-a superset of the functions provided by the other routines,
-any new code should only make use of the more powerful routines.
-The older, weaker routines \fBTcl_SaveResult\fR, \fBTcl_RestoreResult\fR,
-and \fBTcl_DiscardResult\fR continue to exist only for the sake
-of existing programs that may already be using them.
+If a saved state is not restored, \fBTcl_DiscardInterpState\fR must be called
+to release it.  A token used to discard or restore state must not be used
+again.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR takes a snapshot of those portions of
-interpreter state that make up the full result of script evaluation.
-This include the interpreter result, the return code (passed in
-as the \fIstatus\fR argument, and any return options, including
-\fB\-errorinfo\fR and \fB\-errorcode\fR when an error is in progress.
-This snapshot is returned as an opaque token of type \fBTcl_InterpState\fR.
-The call to \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR does not itself change the
-state of the interpreter.  Unlike \fBTcl_SaveResult\fR, it does
-not reset the interpreter.
+\fBTcl_SaveResult\fR, \fBTcl_RestoreResult\fR, and \fBTcl_DiscardResult\fR are
+deprecated.  Instead use \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR,
+\fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR, and \fBTcl_DiscardInterpState\fR, which are more
+capable.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR accepts a \fBTcl_InterpState\fR token
-previously returned by \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR and restores the
-state of the interp to the state held in that snapshot.  The return
-value of \fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR is the status value originally
-passed to \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR when the snapshot token was
-created.
+\fBTcl_SaveResult\fR moves the result of \fIinterp\fR to the location
+\fIstatePtr\fR points to and returns the interpreter result to its initial
+state.  It does not save options such as \fB\-errorcode\fR or
+\fB\-errorinfo\fR.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_DiscardInterpState\fR is called to release a \fBTcl_InterpState\fR
-token previously returned by \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR when that
-snapshot is not to be restored to an interp.
-.PP
-The \fBTcl_InterpState\fR token returned by \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR
-must eventually be passed to either \fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR
-or \fBTcl_DiscardInterpState\fR to avoid a memory leak.  Once
-the \fBTcl_InterpState\fR token is passed to one of them, the
-token is no longer valid and should not be used anymore.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_SaveResult\fR moves the string and value results
-of \fIinterp\fR into the location specified by \fIstatePtr\fR.
-\fBTcl_SaveResult\fR clears the result for \fIinterp\fR and
-leaves the result in its normal empty initialized state.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_RestoreResult\fR moves the string and value results from
-\fIstatePtr\fR back into \fIinterp\fR.  Any result or error that was
-already in the interpreter will be cleared.  The \fIstatePtr\fR is left

 \fBTcl_SaveResult\fR.

-\fBTcl_DiscardResult\fR releases the saved interpreter state
-stored at \fBstatePtr\fR.  The state structure is left in an

-Once \fBTcl_SaveResult\fR is called to save the interpreter
-result, either \fBTcl_RestoreResult\fR or
-\fBTcl_DiscardResult\fR must be called to properly clean up the
-memory associated with the saved state.

+Abstract classes are classes that can contain definitions, but which cannot be
+directly manufactured; they are intended to only ever be inherited from and
+instantiated indirectly. The characteristic methods of \fBoo::class\fR
+(\fBcreate\fR and \fBnew\fR) are not exported by an instance of
+\fBoo::abstract\fR.
+.PP
+Note that \fBoo::abstract\fR is not itself an instance of \fBoo::abstract\fR.
+.SS CONSTRUCTOR
+The \fBoo::abstract\fR class does not define an explicit constructor; this
+means that it is effectively the same as the constructor of the
+\fBoo::class\fR class.
+.SS DESTRUCTOR
+The \fBoo::abstract\fR class does not define an explicit destructor;
+destroying an instance of it is just like destroying an ordinary class (and
+will destroy all its subclasses).
+.SS "EXPORTED METHODS"
+The \fBoo::abstract\fR class defines no new exported methods.
+.SS "NON-EXPORTED METHODS"
+The \fBoo::abstract\fR class explicitly states that \fBcreate\fR,
+\fBcreateWithNamespace\fR, and \fBnew\fR are unexported.

+The \fBclassvariable\fR command is available within methods. It takes a series
+of one or more variable names and makes them available in the method's scope;
+those variable names must not be qualified and must not refer to array
+elements. The originating scope for the variables is the namespace of the
+class that the method was defined by. In other words, the referenced variables
+are shared between all instances of that class.

+Note: This command is equivalent to the command \fBtypevariable\fR provided by
+the snit package in tcllib for approximately the same purpose. If used in a
+method defined directly on a class instance (e.g., through the

-.SS "STRING OPERATIONS"
-.PP
-String values may be used as operands of the comparison operators,
-although the expression evaluator tries to do comparisons as integer
-or floating-point when it can,
-i.e., when all arguments to the operator allow numeric interpretations,
-except in the case of the \fBeq\fR and \fBne\fR operators.
-If one of the operands of a comparison is a string and the other
-has a numeric value, a canonical string representation of the numeric
-operand value is generated to compare with the string operand.
-Canonical string representation for integer values is a decimal string
-format.  Canonical string representation for floating-point values
-is that produced by the \fB%g\fR format specifier of Tcl's
-\fBformat\fR command.  For example, the commands
-.PP
-.CS
-\fBexpr\fR {"0x03" > "2"}
-\fBexpr\fR {"0y" > "0x12"}
-.CE
-.PP
-both return 1.  The first comparison is done using integer
-comparison, and the second is done using string comparison.
-Because of Tcl's tendency to treat values as numbers whenever
-possible, it is not generally a good idea to use operators like \fB==\fR
-when you really want string comparison and the values of the
-operands could be arbitrary;  it is better in these cases to use
-the \fBeq\fR or \fBne\fR operators, or the \fBstring\fR command instead.
 .SH "PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS"
 .PP
-Enclose expressions in braces for the best speed and the smallest
-storage requirements.
-This allows the Tcl bytecode compiler to generate the best code.
-.PP
-As mentioned above, expressions are substituted twice:
-once by the Tcl parser and once by the \fBexpr\fR command.
-For example, the commands
+Where an expression contains syntax that Tcl would otherwise perform
+substitutions on, enclosing an expression in braces or otherwise quoting it
+so that it's a static value allows the Tcl compiler to generate bytecode for
+the expression, resulting in better speed and smaller storage requirements.
+This also avoids issues that can arise if Tcl is allowed to perform
+substitution on the value before \fBexpr\fR is called.
 .PP
+In the following example, the value of the expression is 11 because the Tcl parser first
+substitutes \fB$b\fR and \fBexpr\fR then substitutes \fB$a\fR.  Enclosing the
+expression in braces would result in a syntax error.
 .CS
 set a 3
 set b {$a + 2}
 \fBexpr\fR $b*4
 .CE
 .PP
-return 11, not a multiple of 4.
-This is because the Tcl parser will first substitute \fB$a + 2\fR for
-the variable \fBb\fR,
-then the \fBexpr\fR command will evaluate the expression \fB$a + 2*4\fR.
-.PP
-Most expressions do not require a second round of substitutions.
-Either they are enclosed in braces or, if not,
-their variable and command substitutions yield numbers or strings
-that do not themselves require substitutions.
-However, because a few unbraced expressions
-need two rounds of substitutions,
-the bytecode compiler must emit
-additional instructions to handle this situation.
-The most expensive code is required for
-unbraced expressions that contain command substitutions.
-These expressions must be implemented by generating new code
-each time the expression is executed.
-When the expression is unbraced to allow the substitution of a function or
-operator, consider using the commands documented in the \fBmathfunc\fR(n) or
-\fBmathop\fR(n) manual pages directly instead.
+
+When an expression is generated at runtime, like the one above is, the bytcode
+compiler must ensure that new code is generated each time the expression
+is evaluated.  This is the most costly kind of expression from a performance
+perspective.  In such cases, consider directly using the commands described in
+the \fBmathfunc\fR(n) or \fBmathop\fR(n) documentation instead of \fBexpr\fR.
+
+Most expressions are not formed at runtime, but are literal strings or contain
+substitutions that don't introduce other substitutions.  To allow the bytecode
+compiler to work with an expression as a string literal at compilation time,
+ensure that it contains no substitutions or that it is enclosed in braces or
+otherwise quoted to prevent Tcl from performing substitutions, allowing
+\fBexpr\fR to perform them instead.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fBlink\fR command is available within methods. It takes a series of one
+or more method names (\fImethodName ...\fR) and/or pairs of command- and
+method-name (\fB{\fIcommandName methodName\fB}\fR) and makes the named methods
+available as commands without requiring the explicit use of the name of the
+object or the \fBmy\fR command. The method does not need to exist at the time
+that the link is made; if the link command is invoked when the method does not
+exist, the standard \fBunknown\fR method handling system is used.
+.PP
+The command name under which the method becomes available defaults to the
+method name, except where explicitly specified through an alias/method pair.
+Formally, every argument must be a list; if the list has two elements, the
+first element is the name of the command to create and the second element is
+the name of the method of the current object to which the command links;
+otherwise, the name of the command and the name of the method are the same
+string (the first element of the list).
+.PP
+If the name of the command is not a fully-qualified command name, it will be
+resolved with respect to the current namespace (i.e., the object namespace).
+.SH EXAMPLES
+This demonstrates linking a single method in various ways. First it makes a
+simple link, then a renamed link, then an external link. Note that the method
+itself is unexported, but that it can still be called directly from outside
+the class.
