DESCRIPTION
The component command is used inside an [incr Tcl] extendedclass/wid-
get/widgetadaptor definition to define components.
Explicitly declares a component called comp, and automatically defines
the component's instance variable.
If the -inherit option is specified then all unknown methods and
options will be delegated to this component. The name -inherit implies
that instances of this new type inherit, in a sense, the methods and
options of the component. That is, -inherit yes is equivalent to:
component mycomp
delegate option * to mycomp
delegate method * to mycomp
