| Description: |
% dict set tst a b c d
a {b {c d}}
% dict exists $tst a b c
1
% dict exists $tst a b c d
missing value to go with key
The last command throws an error; since d is a value not a key, I expected simply to get a return value of "0".

allow_comments - 1 The one problem with this is that it makes it harder to know when you've done something silly like going too deep in a dictionary. Still, I buy the point that based on the current documentation it should not be throwing errors. Fixed for 8.5 and 8.6 blacksqr added on 2012-01-18 13:49:17: from chat:
[00:12]SEHlooking for some wisdom on dicts
[00:12]SEH% dict set tst a b c d
[00:13]SEHa {b {c d}}
[00:14]SEH% dict exists $tst a b c d
[00:14]SEHget error; missing value to go with key
[00:14]SEHexpected simply to get "0"
[00:14]SEHbug?
[00:16]venksSEH - exists is for a key
[00:16]SEHright, but since d is not a key I expected to get "0", not an error
[00:16]venksah.
[00:17] * venks goes to check on his
[00:21]apnLooks like a bug to me
