NAME

       llength - Count the number of elements in a list

SYNOPSIS

       llength list
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       Treats list as a list and returns a decimal string giving the number of elements in it.

EXAMPLES

       The result is the number of elements:
	      % llength {a b c d e}
	      5
	      % llength {a b c}
	      3
	      % llength {}
	      0

       Elements are not guaranteed to be exactly words in a dictionary sense of course, especially when quoting is used:
	      % llength {a b {c d} e}
	      4
	      % llength {a b { } c d e}
	      6

       An empty list is not necessarily an empty string:
	      % set var { }; puts "[string length $var],[llength $var]"
	      1,0

NAME

       linsert - Insert elements into a list

SYNOPSIS

       linsert list index element ?element element ...?
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  produces a new list from list by inserting all of the element arguments just before the index'th element of list.  Each ele-
       ment argument will become a separate element of the new list.  If index is less than or equal to zero, then the new elements  are  inserted
       at  the	beginning  of the list.  If index has the value end, or if it is greater than or equal to the number of elements in the list, then
       the new elements are appended to the list.  end-integer refers to the last element in the list minus the specified integer offset.

EXAMPLE

       Putting some values into a list, first indexing from the start and then indexing from the end, and then chaining them together:
	      set oldList {the fox jumps over the dog}
	      set midList [linsert $oldList 1 quick]
	      set newList [linsert $midList end-1 lazy]
	      # The old lists still exist though...
	      set newerList [linsert [linsert $oldList end-1 quick] 1 lazy]
