-# The way it's implemented now, the command is interpreted as a single
-# shell word which means that you cannot define any command line
-# parameters for the root_cmd.  The reason for this limitation is that
-# the code does not use a shell to interpret the command line.  A later
-# version might use Python's shlex module to split this command into
-# words.
+# The value of this option is split into words with the python function
+# shlex.split.  See the python documentation for the precise semantics.
+# shlex.split works pretty much like a POSIX shell but it doesn't to any
+# expansions.
 #
 # Set an empty value to indicate that no special command is needed.
