By the way it might be better to first have a patch that clarifies the
existing documentation of ".command", before the patch that adds
".cmd". This way the first patch that only clarifies the documentation
could be backported to maintenance branches of old releases.
This first patch should explain errors of ".command", and then explain that
we will no longer use it, right?
If I am reading what Christian wrote correctly, I think it is not
"errors of .command" but to clarify the misleading description
(especially around the "as if <token>=<value> were added at the
beginning"). As if nothing is planned for its deprecation.
