16       elements in it.
17

EXAMPLES

19       The result is the number of elements:
20
21              % llength {a b c d e}
22              5
23              % llength {a b c}
24              3
25              % llength {}
26              0
27
28       Elements are not guaranteed to be exactly words in a  dictionary  sense
29       of course, especially when quoting is used:
30
31              % llength {a b {c d} e}
32              4
33              % llength {a b { } c d e}
34              6
35
36       An empty list is not necessarily an empty string:
37
38              % set var { }; puts "[string length $var],[llength $var]"
39              1,0
