[TxMt] Patch for Tcl Syntax

Here's a patch that fixes a problem with syntax highlighting in Tcl.
Basically if you have

     set foo "some \[ escaped \] brackets"

all the code after the string is taken as a string.

The other problem this fixes (although I'm not sure this is the right  
fix) is with curly brackets in interpolated variables. E.g.

     puts "${variable} ${weird variable with spaces}"

the first ${variable} works, but the second ${weird variable with  
spaces} doesn't.

Although, admittedly you have to question the sanity of whomever puts  
spaces in his variables...
