<h1>Discussion</h1>

If extensions need <b>TclObjBeingDeleted</b> then it
should be public.  Otherwise it should be file static.

<b>TclFreeIntRep</b> should be public.  There should be
no direct calling of another object type's procs.

There's code duplication in <b>TclHashObjKey</b> cribbed from
[Hash Tables].

Critical defect here: much of the API uses a <i>signed int</i> for object lengths (with negative numbers, typically -1, indicating “use strlen() to get the real length”). This is fine on 32-bit platforms, but massively wrong on 64-bit (except for ILP64 architectures, but that's a rare configuration).
