This TIP proposes a new [dict] subcommand which is used to combine multiple dictionaries.
dict merge ''dictVal1'' ''dictVal2'' ''...'' ''dictValN''
Returns a new dictionary containing all the key/value pairs in dictVal1 through dictValN. In the case of duplicate keys, values from later arguments override those from earlier ones.
See SF Patch #745851 http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=745851
See the EXAMPLES section of return(n), which currently reads:
set options [eval [list dict create -level 1] $args]
This could be replaced with
set options [dict merge {-level 1} $args]
This feature was suggested during the discussion of TIP #111, but since the vote was already in progress it was not considered at that time.
This document has been placed in the public domain.
