proc ::itcl::delete_helper { name args } {

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
#  USAGE:  local <className> <objName> ?<arg> <arg>...?
#
#  Creates a new object called <objName> in class <className>, passing
#  the remaining <arg>'s to the constructor.  Unlike the usual
#  [incr Tcl] objects, however, an object created by this procedure
#  will be automatically deleted when the local call frame is destroyed.
#  This command is useful for creating objects that should only remain
#  alive until a procedure exits.

# auto_import
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# This procedure overrides the usual "auto_import" function in the
# Tcl library.  It is invoked during "namespace import" to make see
# if the imported commands reside in an autoloaded library.  If so,
# stubs are created to represent the commands.  Executing a stub
# later on causes the real implementation to be autoloaded.
#
# Arguments -
# pattern	The pattern of commands being imported (like "foo::*")
#               a canonical namespace as returned by [namespace current]
