/**
* A word whose value is text with provenance- this literal value appeared in the source
* code, and was not the result of any backslash, variable, or command substitutions.
*
* This provides a level of intentionality that commands can use to distinguish switches:
*
* ```tcl
* puts -stderr text ;# -stderr can be interpreted as a flag and is not part of the message to print
* puts "-stderr" text ;# -stderr is not a flag, but is part of the message to print
* puts $var text ;# The value of $var is part of the message to print, even if the value happens to be "-stderr"
* ```
