An API that allows easy sharing between C and Tcl code is an interesting idea, e.g. a filter written in C storing data for a page written in Tcl. But that's not what's been implemented.
As it stands, it's possible for C code to call down to Tcl and grab a global variable, it's impossible to get at the tls data as the tls key is a private variable in the nsd/tclinit.c file. One bug with the current implementation is that virtual servers will stomp on each others data.
