tcllib                                                 1.2                                        dicttool(3tcl)

       The  dicttool  package  enhances  the  standard  dict command with several new commands. In addition, the
       package also defines several "creature comfort" list commands as well.  Each command checks to see  if  a
       command  already  exists  of  the same name before adding itself, just in case any of these slip into the
       core.

       laddvarnameargs
              This command will add a new instance of each element in args to varname, but only if that  element
              is not already present.

       ldeletevarnameargs
              This command will delete all instances of each element in args from varname.

       dictgetnullargs
              Operates  like  dictget, however if the key args does not exist, it returns an empty list instead
              of throwing an error.

       dictprintdict
              This command will produce a string representation of dict, with each nested branch on  a  newline,
              and indented with two spaces for every level.

       dictis_dictvalue
              This  command will return true if value can be interpreted as a dict. The command operates in such
              a way as to not force an existing dict representation to shimmer into another internal rep.

       rmergeargs
              Return a dict which is the product of a recursive merge of  all  of  the  arguments.  Unlike  dictmerge, this command descends into all of the levels of a dict. Dict keys which end in a : indicate
              a leaf, which will be interpreted as a literal value, and not descended into further.

              set items [dict merge {
                option {color {default: green}}
              } {
                option {fruit {default: mango}}
              } {
                option {color {default: blue} fruit {widget: select values: {mango apple cherry grape}}}
              }]
              puts [dict print $items]

              Prints the following result:

              option {
                color {
                  default: blue
                }
                fruit {
                  widget: select
                  values: {mango apple cherry grape}
                }
              }
