It's not a problem - it lets you do some really neat things that you just can't do in other languages easily. But it is a very very true thing about Tcl.

I was generating functions procedurally, and I was having a scoping problem with one of the inner variables. Naturally, the suggested solution was to do a string replace on your newly created function. Seems obvious in retrospect. :)
