All functions accept command syntax. For example,

    sin 1

is the same as

    sin("1")

which, of course, is the same as

    sin(49)

Command syntax is nothing but syntactic sugar for passing all strings
to a function, and any function can be called this way.

I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for. Is there something that
needs to be modified in the documentation?
