[R] tcltk: write '[' and ']' in a table cell

[Dalthorp, Daniel]

Many thanks, Peter.

Simple, works perfectly, and nigh on impossible to figure out without your
help.

To summarize...in my example, I need to do:

junk[[0,0]] <- as.tclObj(lbl,drop=T) # instead of junk[[0,0]]<-lbl

It works for spaces, brackets, parentheses, and all manner of special
characters.
