whatever "blows up" means: XOTcl replys an error message telling that it 
tries
to call a method named "name a  -xyz b".

The serializer handles this situation by using

    X create x2  [list -p {-name a  -xyz b}]

Alternatively, one can use with slightly changed semantics
(no parsing of argument contents)

    X create x2
    x2 p {-name a  -xyz b}
