DESCRIPTION

       This procedure is invoked to retrieve an option from the database associated with  tkwin's
       main  window.   If there is an option for tkwin that matches the given name or class, then
       it is returned in the form of a Tk_Uid.  If multiple options match name  and  class,  then
       the highest-priority one is returned.  If no option matches, then NULL is returned.

       Tk_GetOption  caches  options related to tkwin so that successive calls for the same tkwin
       will execute much more quickly than successive calls for different windows.
