 * The following values are used in the flags returned by Tcl_ScanElement and

 * TCL_DONT_QUOTE_HASH are defined in tcl.h; make sure neither value overlaps
 * with any of the values below.
 *
 * TCL_DONT_USE_BRACES -        1 means the string mustn't be enclosed in
 *                              braces (e.g. it contains unmatched braces, or
 *                              ends in a backslash character, or user just
 *                              doesn't want braces); handle all special
 *                              characters by adding backslashes.
 * USE_BRACES -                 1 means the string contains a special
 *                              character that can be handled simply by
 *                              enclosing the entire argument in braces.
 * BRACES_UNMATCHED -           1 means that braces aren't properly matched in
 *                              the argument.
 * TCL_DONT_QUOTE_HASH -        1 means the caller insists that a leading hash
 *                              character ('#') should *not* be quoted. This
 *                              is appropriate when the caller can guarantee
 *                              the element is not the first element of a
 *                              list, so [eval] cannot mis-parse the element
 *                              as a comment.

 * Results:
 *      The return value is normally TCL_OK, which means that the element was

 *      (i.e., at the character at list+listLength). If sizePtr is non-NULL,

     * 1. They produce a proper list, one that will yield back the argument
     *    strings when evaluated or when disassembled with Tcl_SplitList. This
     *    is the most important thing.
     *
     * 2. They try to produce legible output, which means minimizing the use
     *    of backslashes (using braces instead). However, there are some
     *    situations where backslashes must be used (e.g. an element like
     *    "{abc": the leading brace will have to be backslashed. For each
     *    element, one of three things must be done:
     *
     *    (a) Use the element as-is (it doesn't contain any special
     *        characters). This is the most desirable option.
     *
     *    (b) Enclose the element in braces, but leave the contents alone.
     *        This happens if the element contains embedded space, or if it
     *        contains characters with special interpretation ($, [, ;, or \),
     *        or if it starts with a brace or double-quote, or if there are no
     *        characters in the element.
     *
     *    (c) Don't enclose the element in braces, but add backslashes to
     *        prevent special interpretation of special characters. This is a
     *        last resort used when the argument would normally fall under
     *        case (b) but contains unmatched braces. It also occurs if the
     *        last character of the argument is a backslash or if the element
     *        contains a backslash followed by newline.
     *
     * The function figures out how many bytes will be needed to store the
     * result (actually, it overestimates). It also collects information about
     * the element in the form of a flags word.
     *
     * Note: list elements produced by this function and
     * Tcl_ConvertCountedElement must have the property that they can be
     * enclosing in curly braces to make sub-lists. This means, for example,
     * that we must not leave unmatched curly braces in the resulting list
     * element. This property is necessary in order for functions like
     * Tcl_DStringStartSublist to work.
