moreover, one should not trust [info complete] as an oracle knowing
exactly where a Tcl command ends and another begins. it just checks
for unbalanced brackets/quotes [1].
think about: .x8763 configure -text blah \n -command {blah…}
[info complete ".x8763 configure -text blah"] would return 1,
resulting in the evaluation of "-command {blah…}" as a separate
command".
