    In contrast to : for comments which is an abuse of label syntax in command scripts, the REM command in Microsoft's/IBM's COMMAND and CMD is indeed exactly that, a bona fide command.

    So it has the twist that REM /? is not actually a comment line. It's a request for the on-line help of the REM command.

    It's more special cased in #TakeCommand than in #CMD, interestingly, in that redirections are not parsed.
