I haven't carefully investigated any of these issues, but reading this
thread again, the AOLserver "namespace cleanup" issue seems to
fundamentally be a Tcl package or library problem, not an AOLserver
problem.
Tcl apparently provides no consistent method or convention for
initializing and re-setting package state, other than completely
destroying the Tcl interpreter and then creating a new one. So this
is going to be a problem for any long lived Tcl interpreter.
What do the Tcl maintainers think about this? What other projects are
using long-lived server-like Tcl interpreters, and how have they
addressed this problem?
