.\" The -*- nroff -*- definitions below are for supplemental macros used
.\" in Tcl/Tk manual entries.
.\"
.\" .AP type name in/out ?indent?
.\" Start paragraph describing an argument to a library procedure.
.\" type is type of argument (int, etc.), in/out is either "in", "out",
.\" or "in/out" to describe whether procedure reads or modifies arg,
.\" and indent is equivalent to second arg of .IP (shouldn't ever be
.\" needed; use .AS below instead)
.\"
.\" .AS ?type? ?name?
.\" Give maximum sizes of arguments for setting tab stops. Type and
.\" name are examples of largest possible arguments that will be passed
.\" to .AP later. If args are omitted, default tab stops are used.
.\"
.\" .BS
.\" Start box enclosure. From here until next .BE, everything will be
.\" enclosed in one large box.
.\"
.\" .BE
.\" End of box enclosure.
.\"
.\" .CS
.\" Begin code excerpt.
.\"
.\" .CE
.\" End code excerpt.
.\"
.\" .VS ?version? ?br?
.\" Begin vertical sidebar, for use in marking newly-changed parts
.\" of man pages. The first argument is ignored and used for recording
.\" the version when the .VS was added, so that the sidebars can be
.\" found and removed when they reach a certain age. If another argument
.\" is present, then a line break is forced before starting the sidebar.
.\"
.\" .VE
.\" End of vertical sidebar.
.\"
.\" .DS
.\" Begin an indented unfilled display.
.\"
.\" .DE
.\" End of indented unfilled display.
.\"
.\" .SO ?manpage?
.\" Start of list of standard options for a Tk widget. The manpage
.\" argument defines where to look up the standard options; if
.\" omitted, defaults to "options". The options follow on successive
.\" lines, in three columns separated by tabs.
.\"
.\" .SE
.\" End of list of standard options for a Tk widget.
.\"
.\" .OP cmdName dbName dbClass
.\" Start of description of a specific option. cmdName gives the
.\" option's name as specified in the class command, dbName gives
.\" the option's name in the option database, and dbClass gives
.\" the option's class in the option database.
.\"
.\" .UL arg1 arg2
.\" Print arg1 underlined, then print arg2 normally.
.\"
.\" .QW arg1 ?arg2?
.\" Print arg1 in quotes, then arg2 normally (for trailing punctuation).

.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
tomlish is an intermediate representation of toml data in a tree structure (tagged lists representing type information)
.PP
The design goals are for tomlish to be whitespace and comment preserving ie byte-for byte preservation during roundtrips from toml to tomlish and back to toml
.PP
The tomlish representation can then be converted to a Tcl dict structure or to other formats such as json,
.PP
although these other formats are generally unlikely to retain whitespace or comments
.PP
The other formats also won't preserve roundtripability e\&.g \\t and a literal tab coming from a toml file will be indistinguishable\&.
.PP
A further goal is to allow at least a useful subset of in-place editing operations which also preserve whitespace and comments\&.
.PP
e\&.g leaf key value editing, and table reordering/sorting, key-renaming at any level, key insertions/deletions
.PP
The API for editing (tomldoc object?) may require explicit setting of type if accessing an existing key
.PP
e\&.g setting a key that already exists and is a different type (especially if nested structure such as a table or array)
.PP
will need a -type option (-force ?) to force overriding with another type such as an int\&.

.sp
Accepts index of the forms accepted by Tcl's list commands\&. (e\&.g compound indices such as 3+1 end-2)
.sp
returns -1 for out of range at either end, or a valid integer index
.sp
Unlike lindex_resolve; lindex_resolve_basic can't determine if an out of range index was out of range at the lower or upper bound
.sp
This is only likely to be faster than average over lindex_resolve for Tcl which has the builtin lseq command
.sp
The performance advantage is more likely to be present when using compound indexes such as $x+1 or end-1
.sp
For pure integer indices the performance should be equivalent
