Yeah, I know that. Happens often, even.

Ah. A few people use those commands in dynamic patching. But that's 
definitely not why it was implemented. I think it's more about Miller not 
wanting to learn enough of Tk... nevermind that Tcl/Tk was definitely the 
easiest GUI toolkit ever, at the time Miller started using it (and still 
competes favourably, but toolkits' ease of use change a lot with the 
programming language).
