They are *also* providing functionality that Python
doesn't implement. There is quite some redundancy, too. E.g.
a Posix C library supports regular expressions, which Python
also does, and Python doesn't use the C implementation.

What are those advantages? Aren't they also obtained by exposing
the Tcl object interface?
