Arguments are evaluated in a different order to modern lisps. It's fexprs. It's weird in tcl because you might see weird macros that are built from the inside out, which is not how they're done with lisp. Like, with syntax-case, you're replacing terms in forms, but tcl does it with upvar and uplevel, so the relation of the form (whitespace matters) and you have to manage items carefully (scoping) It sucks. Tcl will break you down. Not original commenter, btw.
