The Tcl lexer contains mistakes and isn't up-to-date with Tcl 9

[mark-summerfield]

Tcl

The lexer only applies to '*.tcl' but should also apply to '*.tm' (Tcl module files).

It looks like the BUILTINS have been copy/pasted from the docs and so include things that aren't builtin at all. For example, re_syntax isn't a Tcl command it is simply a page that describes the Tcl regexp and regsub commands' syntax.

When I highlight Tcl/Tk 9 I use the following.

== Commands

(Personally, I also highlight uppercase SQL within Tcl.)
