DESCRIPTION
       This  package provides a number of commands for the convenient creation
       of Tcl interpreters for highly restricted execution.

API
       ::interp::createEmpty ?path?
              This commands creates an empty Tcl interpreter  and  returns  it
              name.  Empty  means  that the new interpreter has neither names-
              paces, nor any commands. It is useful only for the  creation  of
              aliases.

              If  a  path is specified then it is taken as the name of the new
              interpreter.

       ::interp::snitLink path methodlist
              This command assumes that it was called from within a method  of
              a snit object, and that the command mymethod is available.

              It  extends  the  interpreter specified by path with aliases for
              all methods found in the methodlist, with  the  alias  directing
              execution  to  the same-named method of the snit object invoking
              this command.  Each element of  methodlist  is  actually  inter-
              preted  as  a command prefix, with the first word of each prefix
              the name of the method to link to.

              The result of the command is the empty string.

       ::interp::snitDictLink path methoddict
              This command behaves like  ::interp::snitLink,  except  that  it
              takes  a  dictionary  mapping  from  commands  to methods as its
              input, and not a list of methods.  Like  for  ::interp::snitLink
              the  method references are actually command prefixes.  This com-
              mand allows the creation of more complex command-method mappings
              than ::interp::snitLink.

              The result of the command is the empty string.
