I want to create a couple of procs with these usages:
 
dialog::prepare ?-parent .? ?-modal true? window
 
I can't use the parse_args package because I don't know how to install
it (and it has no INSTALL doc)
 
I can see from the wiki that there seems to be a lot of different pure
Tcl solutions, so I don't know which one to choose.
 
I'm using Tcl/Tk 9.0b2.

 
Look first to TclLib --
https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcllib/doc/trunk/embedded/md/tcllib/files/

modules/tepam/tepam_introduction.md

I had peeked at that but was put off by there being no 'examples' section.
I'll have another look at it.

Thanks also to the other repliers, but I want something 'standards' rather
than ad hoc. I do find it surprising that it isn't part of Tcl itself.
