Description:	Only logging this ticket in case this is an oversight and not intentional. TIP 426 as voted defines the public API's `Tcl_RegisterCommandTypeName` and `Tcl_GetCommandTypeName`. I do not however find these functions defined in tcl.decls.
User Comments:	apnadkarni added on 2024-05-22 03:43:53: Donal, please close ticket if the functions in question were not exported by intent. apnadkarni added on 2024-05-20 03:13:30: I do not have any particular need for the aforementioned functions so I am fine leaving things as they are. Only brought it up in case they were omitted as an oversight and not by intent. jan.nijtmans added on 2024-05-19 11:21:26: That said, I don't object to making this public (if there is an interest implementing the Tk-part, as mentioned in the TIP). In that case, I recommend only doing this for 9.0, not for 8.7. jan.nijtmans added on 2024-05-19 11:15:52: I don't think it's difficult to add those to the public API: Those functions are MODULE_SCOPE, and named `TclRegisterCommandTypeName`/`TclGetCommandTypeName`. But ... would any extension need those? I think the answer to this question is `No`, so I would suggest to leave the implementation as-is. We can modify the TIP, mentioning this change-of-insight.
