It's a while since this announcement, and a second (much better) patch
was added by Alex early January: histresult.patch

The nice thing about that one patch is, that it concentrates on
the existing history-mechanism, and just adds the last result
to where one would expect such a feature. Also, the last result
itself is saved as an array-element ::tcl::history(lastcommand)
and can trivially be linked to $_ as per user's .tclshrc: just
add "upvar #0 ::tcl::history(lastcommand) _"

Now, my question: what's the future? Will it require a TIP? Is
it a sufficiently local simple change that it can get through
as a fix for a longstanding omission?

I surely wouldn't want it to be just forgotten about (except for
those few "freaks" who regularly compile their own tclsh just for
the patch)

PS: the upvar-line could then be mentioned as a hint in the
history's manpage.
