8.5 Syntax

[157] [293] {*}

The word expansion operator

This is the 1st of the two big changes 8.5 introduced

Chosen syntax not truly liked, grudgingly accepted, lots of bike shedding did not give us anything better.

Basic use:

eval [list {*}$cmdprefix {*}$systemargs {*}$userargs]

do-something {*}[process-cmdline]
