 proc progress {w args} {
  eval frame $w $args ;# create the "base" thing
  frame $w.bar -background blue -relief raised -borderwidth 6
  place $w.bar -relwidth .3 -relheight 1.0 
  
  rename $w _$w      ;# keep the original widget command
  # Here comes the overloaded widget proc:
  proc $w {args} {
    set self [lindex [info level 0] 0] ;# get name I was called with
    foreach {opt val} $args {
        switch -- $opt {
          -val   {eval "place $self.bar -relwidth $val"}
          default {uplevel 1 _$self $args}
          }
        }
  }
  return $w ;# like the original "text" command
 }
