Re: Tcl/Tk error

Hi Ted!

Just a little note to say that the bug which you uncovered regarding 
array probing has been fixed!

Explanation:
------------

Until now the default behaviour of the probing mechanism upon encountering 
a variable which it did not know how to display, was to print out the type 
of that variable (in a special objective-c runtime system encoding).  

Unfortunately, in the case of arrays the encoding contains square brackets, 
which confuse the Tcl/Tk interpreter when it is asked to display the typing.

Fix:
----

The new behaviour of the probe (next release of Swarm) will be to print
"..." when it encounters a variable which it cannot represent properly. 
Of course, in the long run we would like to allow the representation of 
arrays, structs, etc.

Regards,

Manor.
