I wonder what Chatgpt would have done without the win/README file in the
TCL distribution which holds the relevant information ;-)
 

I started up wish in visual studio, hit continue, and with a console created a thread or two.
It showed me how to see the active threads, but they weren't changing. It said:
Hit pause, only then will Visual Studio refresh the list and show any new threads (like those created by thread::create in Tcl). I didn't tell it I was doing that, it had read my mind!
After the pause, it stopped in some win32 code. I asked it how to stop at some tcl source code. It said, look on the stack and you'll find something you can double click on like,
tcl91.dll!Tcl_DoOneEvent()
I bet it has read the entire tcl wiki too!
And this was just with the free tier. Put this in a robot in a few years and it'll probably cut my meat for me at dinner too w/o even asking!
