Description:
prodebug complains about the following:

html::foreach
html::for
html::while
html::if
html::set
html::eval

An early design choice by Ajuba.
A weird one, given that they also created prodebug.

A possible change would be to

  html::foreach -> each
  html::for     -> iter  (iterate)
  html::while   -> cloop (conditional loop)
  html::if      -> on    (on <condition> <body> ...)
  html::set     -> assign
  html::eval    -> do

where `->` stands for `becomes`.

Going that way is a major API change, requires version bump to 2.x.
At that point we should go to Tcl 8.6 as well, I believe.
