I'm content with having the functions be a "bug fix" (you'll want to 
match indexes into the stub table between the versions, of course) as 
I'm pretty sure the reason for their omission was pure oversight. For 
myself, I've never felt the lack directly either or used the other 
functions where a va_list is passed in. Given Joe's comment though, I'd 
also say that it is important to put a note in the documentation about 
being careful to match compilers when using the API; such a note 
probably also belongs against the existing Tcl_*VA() functions.
