Just to correct, the Tcl_Obj probably can't exceed 2GB in size since (for silly historical reasons) the length member of the Tcl_Obj struct is of type 'int' (not even unsigned). This can't change until Tcl9 or you will break binary compatability with existing extensions. In any case, for most people it is the ability to use more than 4GB of mem, not all in one Tcl_Obj, that is important. If you really need the single-obj blob, you can create your own Tcl_Obj type which uses the internalRep structure to contain ... whatever you want.
