The following fixes might show some potential incompatibilities with
existing software:
- Allow an empty command to be the target of an alias.
- Reconcile libtommath updates, purging some unused files.
- Handle invalid UTF-8 characters correctly in Tcl_UtfToUniChar() to
prevent the injection
of unexpected characters.
- Update Unicode data to 10.0
- Fix some problems in the compilation of [lreplace].
- Fix using parameters with spaces in error messages.
- Make it possible to use [namespace upvar] when the target variable is
also a variable of the class.

more compatible.
- Limit $... and bareword parsing to ASCII characters only.
