OK, here we go!

This is a CFV for the following TIPs. A number of these propose to 
target 8.6; as 8.6 is a release, I'll not where this is the case and ask 
for people voting for the TIPs to say if they're OK with the feature 
going into 8.6 or whether it has to just go to trunk.

Note that all these TIPs also have tests and docs in their 
implementations; approvals can be finalized extremely rapidly.

  • TIP #463: Command-Driven Substitutions for regsub
    Link: http://www.tcl.tk/cgi-bin/tct/tip/463.html
    Implementation branch: tip-463
    Target: 8.7

  • TIP #470: Reliable Access to OO Definition Context Object
    Link: http://www.tcl.tk/cgi-bin/tct/tip/470.html
    Implementation branch: tip-470
    Target: 8.7

  • TIP #472: Add Support for 0d Radix Prefix to Integer Literals
    Link: http://www.tcl.tk/cgi-bin/tct/tip/473.html
    Implementation branch: bsg-0d-radix-prefix
    Target: 8.6

  • TIP #473: Allow a Defined Target Namespace in oo::copy
    Link: http://www.tcl.tk/cgi-bin/tct/tip/473.html
    Implementation branch: oo-copy-ns
    Target: 8.6

I'm relatively OK with #472 going into 8.6, but could also live with it 
being an 8.7 feature. Provided we don't boil the ocean in the bikeshed 
over it. :-)

I'd like #473 to go into 8.6 as it's really a bugfix for an oversight 
during the creation of TclOO; [oo::copy] was supposed to have this 
capability all along (well, since I allowed specific namespaces to be 
targeted at all in the first place) but I forgot to fix it. :-)

Votes are to be done in the usual format to this list with a deadline of 
[clock format 1498129200] (i.e., by midday my timezone on Thursday next 
week). My votes are as follows:

   TIP #463: YES
     (I don't know how many years I've wanted this!)
   TIP #470: YES
     (We can backport easily enough, but there's no pressing need for
     doing so from my perspective)
   TIP #472: YES
     (I worry about %#d, but it's *REALLY* obscure! I would be
     marginally happier with going to 8.7 with this, but not so as to
     change my vote.)
   TIP #473: YES
     (Glorified bugfix, this one.)

Donal.
