you may patch the msgcat by the solution by Greg or Christian and look,
if this works for you.

 Sorry, I don't actually know how to use patch.
 

It would also be great, to extend the test cases by your case, see here:

Search for  "test msgcat-15." to find all oo tests.

 I'm only learning Tcl; I'm not familiar with msgcat (I wasn't knowingly
using it!) nor with Tcl's test infrastructure. Nor do I know how to edit
Tcl Source Code files (or even whether I can). I do have a login so I can
see "msgcat.test at tip" but there's no Edit button for example. The only
online code editing I've ever done is with github; I've never used fossil.
 Sorry!
 

I am personally totally in disagreement to support tcloo in msgcat. It
always causes troubble.... But my personal view does not count, I am on
your service....

Hi Marc,
well, your knowledge already superseeds my knowledge, so I was looking for some help. We had the TTT telco today and Donal Fellows said, that the proposal does not work and he will look about a better solution.
To "patch" is to replace the file "msgcat-1.9.2.tm" by a modified file.
Unfortunately, this is not so easy any more, as the tcl library is now within a zip file, as TCL9 puts all tcl files in a zip file.
Thanks for all,
Harald
