By the sounds of it, ActiveTCL's {} syntax is an uncertainty anyhow,
since someone mentioned it was wrapped by a #ifdef...

So now that TCL has settled on their syntax, ActiveTCL can simply mark
it as a early starter idea that has been replaced by the more heavily
debated and agreed apon one from the main tree. Then in a few
versions, they can either drop the {} syntax entirely, or maintain it
as a deviant extension.
