Hi,
Brent Welch wrote some ns_share code which worked with Tcl variable
traces to emulate the original code. It works except for a few edge
cases but is generally considered less efficient and flexible than the
new nsv_* commands. So, when I say we gave up on ns_share I mean we
stopped applying our patches to the Tcl core for ns_share, allowing us
to use the Tcl source un-altered.

I got it -- I think someone at UCB did the work. We later hacked Tcl
7.4 and 8.1 on our own before enough support was in the Tcl core and
we were ready to give up on "ns_share" which was a significant hack
that couldn't reasonably be brought forward.
I was just looking at file.tcl, and it still uses ns_share. Is that
ok? Or should that be changed?
