(It was the only choice earlier, and now it can't even be selected any more?!)
The thing is, it could be handy for some default robustness to survive yet another idiotic CMD "feature" of replacing "=" with space when "helpfully" splitting arg lists into %1 %2... (e.g. an unquoted --arg==1 will become %1=--arg, %2=1)... :-o (%* is unaffected, but then again, it's useless with shift, because it's unaffected also by that. :) )
