I have a TCL proc that needs to convert what might be a list into a
string to read

consider this:

[set string [PROPER_CASE {hello world}]]; # OUTPUTS Hello World which
is fine for PHP

[set string [PROPER_CASE {-hello world}]]; # OUTPUT {{-Hello}}
World, which PHP will print literally as {{-Hello}} World, instead of
-Hello World

Is there an easy way for TCL to brute-force a list into a
strictly-string-only format to prevent this potentially ugly display
from being displayed by PHP/etc.?

Thanx
Phil
