I have no idea. At least for gdb, I tend to doubt it would matter.
Tcl's opportunistic JIT only applies to procedure bodies, so code
running at top-level in a script file is never byte-compiled.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have adopted it as "testcase group eval
<name> { code goes here }" as a second wrapper around the internal API,
where the consistency checks will be performed.
I will also implement "testcase group {begin|end} <name>" calls because
those will certainly not impede the opportunistic JIT in procedures and
are easier to make conditional on [testsuite can call api testcase
group] if a testsuite wants to declare groups but also wants to still
run under 1.6.2 and earlier.
