i'm not sure you'd define them as 'special cases' but tcl can be
quirky if you come from a language like perl:

set x 1

and to refer to it  you use '$' so: 

puts $x

but to increment it you'd do:

incr x

ie. no '$' used.

and the comment thing is a bit annoying for uneven braces in the same
line...

tk is easily one of the quicker ways to crank out a gui for an
