Dunno, sorry. I've never [knowingly] used compiled Tcl.
Mostly I just use the fact the it stores procedure arglists
and bodies where they can be recovered/printed, e.g.:

    tcl>proc foo {a b} {
    =># "FOO A B" adds A & B and returns the sum.
    =>expr $a + $b
    =>}
    tcl>foo 12 34
    46
    tcl> 

Then, later:

    tcl>info args foo
    a b
    tcl>info body foo

    # "FOO A B" adds A & B and returns the sum.
    expr $a + $b

    tcl> 

But for a more formal docstring-only retrieval system, you
might want something like this <http://wiki.tcl.tk/10793>.
