 *
 * TclLookupVar --
 *
 *      This procedure is used by virtually all of the variable code to
 *      locate a variable given its name(s).
 *
 * Results:
 *      The return value is a pointer to the variable structure indicated by
 *      part1 and part2, or NULL if the variable couldn't be found. If the
 *      variable is found, *arrayPtrPtr is filled in with the address of the
 *      variable structure for the array that contains the variable (or NULL
 *      if the variable is a scalar). If the variable can't be found and
 *      either createPart1 or createPart2 are 1, a new as-yet-undefined
 *      (VAR_UNDEFINED) variable structure is created, entered into a hash
 *      table, and returned.
 *
 *      If the variable isn't found and creation wasn't specified, or some
 *      other error occurs, NULL is returned and an error message is left in
 *      interp->result if TCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG is set in flags. (The result
 *      isn't put in interp->objResultPtr because this procedure is used
 *      by so many string-based routines.)
 *
 *      Note: it's possible for the variable returned to be VAR_UNDEFINED
 *      even if createPart1 or createPart2 are 1 (these only cause the hash
 *      table entry or array to be created). For example, the variable might
 *      be a global that has been unset but is still referenced by a
 *      procedure, or a variable that has been unset but it only being kept
 *      in existence (if VAR_UNDEFINED) by a trace.
 *
 * Side effects:
 *      New hashtable entries may be created if createPart1 or createPart2
 *      are 1.
