Commentary: while some people are happy Tcl consumers for years
without thinking through this, in fact the inclusions among

string
list
script

are sufficiently non-trivial to inspire recurring debates about
whether we ought to change the diagram enough to collapse these
to just two (and would we then be *too* Lisp-like?).

At another level, give thanks to TCT for maintaining these things
in good order for the good of all.
