I'd vaguely like to write a TCL language server, but I'm not sure I'll get to it in 2022. I ironically don't use tcl myself.
This grammar speculatively parses all words rather than hardcoding the core language constructs and deriving which words should be recursively parsed. This trades off faster parsing for more difficult semantic analysis and a cruder grammar API for queries and syntax highlighting.
