TIL, Tcl is pronounced as Tickle, but not Tee-see-el.

Either is fine and used. Joke is “tickle” among the initiated/familiar, tee cee ell if you’re talking to management. However, never name a file test.tcl, regardless of how you pronounce it.
I'm a total stranger to the Tcl universe, but I'm curious what does happen if a programmer names a file "test" ? Some kind of conflict, bug, error ?
“testicle”
It’s nut really a problem.
