Description:
In Tk up to and including 8.4.5, the text widget's
-xscrollcommand and -yscrollcommand options were
interpreted as script prefixes and executed as per
[eval]. In the current HEAD they are interpreted as
command prefixes instead (i.e., substitutions aren't
performed, comments and statement terminators not
recognized, etc.).  

This is an incompatible change; the old behaviour
should be restored.

It looks like this change occurred in revision 1.18 of
tkText.c (the TIP 155 implementation).
