Tom,

It is not the question of deleting all those namespaced vars.
Of course they are needed.

But some people/software freaks out when for example *additional*
variables are added or *existing* ones changed during the processing
of the page. This introduces a non-transparent state which is difficult
to track and recover from.

Hence, in the ideal world, the interp should be left in the
pristine state after the page has been processed. This requires
a clever garbage-collection mechanism which is IMO too slow to
solve in Tcl alone by brute force.
