Is pgtksh the same as tcl/tk wish, except with a PostgreSQL interface?

Right.
* tclsh = interactive Tcl (and nothing else).
* wish = tclsh plus Tk library ("wish" = "windowing shell", but I think
tksh would've been a more self-explanatory name).
* pgtclsh is tclsh with libpgtcl preloaded.
* pgtksh is wish with libpgtcl preloaded.
Nothin' up my sleeve...

Agreed.

Thanks. Seems Jolly is still in the README as the maintainer. I bet he
would get a kick out of that.
