# Scopedobject
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Implements a base class for defining Itcl classes which posses
# scoped behavior like Tcl variables. The objects are only accessible
# within the procedure in which they are instantiated and are deleted
# when the procedure returns.
#
# Option(s):
#
# -enterscopecommand: Tcl command to invoke when a object enters scope
# (i.e. when it is created ...).
#
# -exitscopecommand: Tcl command to invoke when a object exits scope
# (i.e. when it is deleted ...).
#
# Note(s):
#
# Although a Scopedobject instance will automatically destroy itself
# when it goes out of scope, one may explicity delete an instance
# before it destroys itself.
#
# Example(s):
#
# Creating an instance at local scope in a procedure provides
# an opportunity for tracing the entry and exiting of that
# procedure. Users can register their proc/method tracing handlers
# with the Scopedobject class via either of the following two ways:
#
# 1.) configure the "-exitscopecommand" on a Scopedobject instance;
# e.g.
# #!/usr/local/bin/wish
#
# proc tracedProc {} {
# scopedobject #auto \
# -exitscopecommand {puts "enter tracedProc"} \
# -exitscopecommand {puts "exit tracedProc"}
# }
#
# 2.) deriving from the Scopedobject and implementing the exit handling
# in their derived classes destructor.
# e.g.
#
# #!/usr/local/bin/wish
#
# class Proctrace {
# inherit Scopedobject
#
# proc procname {} {
# return [info level -1]
# }
#
# constructor {args} {
# puts "enter [procname]"
# eval configure $args
# }
#
# destructor {
# puts "exit [procname]"
# }
# }
#
# proc tracedProc {} {
# Proctrace #auto
# }
