   Covering a few days later than I thought I would, but what else do I see in Expect's codebase?

   * Deprecated `select`-syscall I/O utilities, disabled in all builds
   * API around terminal-windowsize accessing IOCTLs
   * It's own date-formatting utility
   * Opening sub-pseudoteletypes
   * Implementation of glob-patterns
   * Utilities upon those sub-pseudoteletypes, across 2 files
   * Multiple sources for input events, including a noop one
   * Configuring redirects on /dev/console
   * Legacy cleanup routine

   1/2?

     * Deprecated regular-expression engine, disabled in all builds
     * 3rd file full of sub-pseudoteletype routines
     * Another globbing implementation
     * Expose events to TCL
     * Logging, including to TCL channels
     * Abstractions around TCL channels
     * TCL breakpoint debugging
     * Stdlib adaptors to previously-internal APIs

     I'm not entirely sure why TCL includes all this code, beyond there appearing to be a traditional distrust in the standardization of UNIX"s standard library.

     2/2 Fin! Tomorrow: publish

     @Sexypink Not entirely what prompted this toot, but if you're responding to the "/2?" I can sometimes make educated guesses about how long my threads will be.
