It is confusing I agree, but the style goes back to the dawn of
computing - certainly further back than me! I remember seeing
CP/M commands documented in that same style back in the very
early 1980's and MS-DOS was done that way too.
(In fact if you use DOS Help it still is... try typing HELP DIR...)
