The Tcl example does not contain an explicit loop. It seems unlikely to me that "firstperm" is itself doing a permutation sort, and a web search didn't turn up anything informative (I don't know Tcl myself). Could someone who knows more add explanation/mark incorrect/fix? --[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 23:40, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
