errors are a different story: use the "catch" command to deal
with those.

these are the options:
  run the procedure in a separate process, (with exec) and
     it returns all of the subprocess' output
  run the procedure in a separate interpreter (see
     doku for "interp", and for that interp you can replace
     "puts" with whatever suits you better, even calling
     master's original puts.
  If you need any sideffects (e.g. global variables) of that
     procedure in the current interpreter, then the above two
     ways are ruled out, but you can still replace puts before
     calling gimmedat, and restore the original puts back
     immediately afterwards:
       rename puts _puts
       proc puts {args} { log $args somewhere; eval _puts $args }
       gimmedat
       rename _puts puts
