Those methods convert a tcl string to a Numeric object, if the string
can be a description of a numeric value.
If you want to get each element as a string, please use TkComm.simplelist.

irb(main):001:0> data = "2.00 {21 22   23} 2"
=> "2.00 {21 22   23} 2"
irb(main):002:0> TkComm::list(data)
=> [2.0, [21, 22, 23], 2]
irb(main):003:0> TkComm::simplelist(data)
=> ["2.00", "21 22   23", "2"]
