Tcl is sensitive to newlines, so arbitrarily wrapping lines of Tcl code
isn't always easy and sometimes makes code less readable.

I'm not defending the aD Tcl, but I'm just explaining why some Tcl code
isn't very conscientious about the right-hand margin.  I often find
myself "relaxing" my right-hand margin of 72 characters when writing Tcl
code because having to end a line with "\" just to wrap something onto
the next line just doesn't seem right.
