This seems like it has 2 use cases.
Internal console management around reprinting command prompt, but many
modes of operation delegate the prompt processing to tkcon or readline.
Process termination to restore the termios.
Legacy compiler support macro provided by TCL from a time when 'const'
did not exist.
This looks like it was put in place around the time of TCL 8.4
(from 2002 until 2013) which introduced APIs with 'const' types,
that were previously non-const. Probably due to legacy compiler
support across target platforms at the time.
Since the minimum TCL level is hardwired to 8.5 (from 2007 until
2016) it does not seem like that compatiblity is a current
requirement.
This commit related to the dynamic creation of data that is used
to parse commands and options via Lookup.

out where to find the technology corresponding to a file given on
the command line: (1) Changed the default search location from
/usr/share/pdk to /usr/local/share/pdk, which is the actual default
for open_pdks (can still be overridden by environment variable
PDK_ROOT). (2) Made the PDK name by itself preferable to the PDK
name plus any extension when searching (e.g., "sky130A" is preferred
over "sky130A_backup"). (3) Check the located directory for any
file <tech_name>.tcl and source it if it exists. (4) Run any tag
callbacks on the "tech load" command, which rebuilds the tool icons.
supported). Fixed the long-standing issue in which DRC does not
get stopped by the "drc off" command (the behavior for interrupting
the DRC was dependent on the DRC being turned on, and the "drc off"
command was turning it off before breaking, causing the interrupt
to be ignored).
+ Add "smoke test" build CI to Github Actions
+ Added a configure_mac script (requires brew)
~ caddr_t -> void* (was never a part of any UNIX standard)
linking it to Tk or X11 graphics. Added new command "display" which
returns the display type, which is good for finding out if the
display is "NULL". Added code to allow the wrapper to be defined
for NULL graphics with the Tk console, the main necessities of which
are to remove the "openwrapper" command, and to return immediately
from a number of tag callback functions.
