This patch has more annoying "just rewrapping the text in a strange
way without changing anything" than the real change which is to
enclose <value> inside the angle brackets (which is good) and adding
a new sentence.

We are discouraging the use of .command and recommending folks to
use .cmd instead, by the way.  At some point we may drop the
example, and adding a reference to the example would mean somebody
needs to remember removing this when it happens.
