  in the general case, you will prefer
 
        next [list myArg -whatever niceSystem]
 
  to get the tcl substitions correct.

  technically yes.
 
  Somehow, i have the feeling, that Kristoffer intended a class to the
  method "whatever". Why not use:

     Class Bar -superclass Foo
     Bar instproc init {} {
       next myArg
       [self] whatever niceSystem
     }
