Makes quite a lot of sense.  I wouldn't have got confused by the
behaviour of .command if it were documented like the above from day
one.  Very nice.

OK, so "for consistency" is about consistency between the "execute
once first without being asked" case (where there is no plausible
source of $ARG), and "execute because we were asked by a command
line option (where we are given <value> to replace $ARG).

Makes sense.

Will queue.  Thanks.
