NAME
       llength - Count the number of elements in a list

SYNOPSIS
       llength list


DESCRIPTION
       Treats list as a list and returns a decimal string giving the number of
       elements in it.


EXAMPLES
       The result is the number of elements: % llength {a b c d e} 5 % llength
       {a b c} 3 % llength {} 0

       Elements  are  not guaranteed to be exactly words in a dictionary sense
       of course, especially when quoting is used: % llength {a b {c d} e} 4 %
       llength {a b { } c d e} 6

       An  empty  list is not necessarily an empty string: % set var { }; puts
       "[string length $var],[llength $var]" 1,0
