Dear Fred,

I didn't really understand your last response to my last reply, which was based on a misunderstanding.

Today, after re-reading the TIP more sorrowfully, I hopefully understand your reply.

Let me comprehend:
1. open and exec stay to be only root namespace commands
2. there will be no ::tcl::process::(exec|open) commands.
3. nothing changes in this "area"

But why not initially enhancing the ability to create (sub) processes a bit, using the ::tcl::process namespace?
To have a less "command line" orientated syntax for creating (a)synchronous (sub) processes eventually bound with a pipe.

Why staying with the need to build strings as "command lines" to start (sub) processes?

Perhaps, I never was in too deep into console based system management. I ever disliked the need to build command lines to be used with both commands, so … is there really no interest in such an addition?

Yes, it is not part of the TIP 462, but I would have expected in the TIP from the start - that's the reason for the confusion of mine.
