In fact I find it excessively appropriate; they are some of the worst
testsuite codes I've ever had the misfortune to work with and TCL is a
big part of the reason why.  As the currently most active TCL
programmer in the GDB project, I think I've earned the right to agree
with Joel.

If I had the luxury to redo it I'd do it in Anything But TCL, probably
by improving QMTest's support for interactive testing.
