Shortened interactive commands

So instead of puts you can write put or even pu ... but if you try to run just the p command you'll get
% p hello
ambiguous command name "p": package pid proc puts pwd
% If you're running from a a file of Tcl commands, though, you need to specify the command name in full - puts.
