  • Awesome versatility

    Just do:

    % package require Tk
    8.6.12
    % frame .f1
    .f1
    % frame .f1.f2
    .f1.f2
    % pack .f1 -in .f1.f2

    And notice that you just packed a widget inside its own child.

    Let your fantasy carry you away while thinking of use-cases ...

    Just for kicks I took the challenge. Only difference is the interp I used is 8.7a6
    The results:
    % package require Tk
    8.7a6
    % frame .f1
    .f1
    % frame .f1.f2
    .f1.f2
    % pack .f1 -in .f1.f2
    can't put ".f1" inside ".f1.f2": would cause management loop
    %

    So it doesn't fly. Don't know if the error message is new in 8.7 vs. 8.6.x. In any case it sure makes sense.

    Tried in 8.6.11 and got exactly the same result as 8.7. Now what?
