I know it's basic TCL, and I feel stupid for not knowing the solution
myself, but well... it's nearly 10 years I last worked with TCL/TK :)

I want to split a list so that it behaves exactly like literals. My
problem occurs while working with row attributes in a tablelist (.t is
the tablelist):

% .t rowattrib k0 Foo Bar
% .t rowattrib k0
{Foo Bar}
% .t unsetrowattrib k0 Foo
% .t rowattrib k0
% set s "Foo Bar"
Foo Bar
% .t rowattrib k0 $s
% .t rowattrib k0

I need to use a variable in the place of the literals - [split $s " "]
doesn't do the job either.

Pre-8.5:

eval .t rowattrib k0 $s

8.5+, also:

.t rowattrib k0 {*}$s

I had been experimenting with eval but the wrong way. The 8.5+ way is
more elegant :)

Thanks a lot!
