Seems like a worthy breakthrough, but the reported effect only produces temperature differences of 4-5K. They conjecture they can go to 22K deltas in the future.
Can an effect that small be practically scaled to grid-level usefulness, efficiency notwithstanding?
The OpenACS web server toolkit has a lot of useful Tcl utilities, including the ad_proc procedure, which wraps proc and allows adding of switches, inline docs, and more.
I think it would be very useful to turn ad_proc into a built-in command and incorporate it into TCL.
Personally I'm a fan of TEPAM from tcllib, which does much the same (and tcllib is available through many OS's package managers making it more readily available)
For incorporating into Tcl I'd prefer something simpler that would also work with existing procs. Building on {*}, maybe {@} could work (to skip over arguments to a specified argument}. e.g. when calling a function:
someFunc someVal anotherVal {@}someArgName yetAnotherVal
