Replacement text ~
+The {repl} argument is normally one long string, possibly with "|" separated
+commands. A special case is when the argument is "{", then the following
+lines, up to a line starting with "}" are used and |Vim9| syntax applies.
+Example: >
+ :command MyCommand {
+ echo 'hello'
+ g:calledMyCommand = true
+ }
+No nesting is supported.

The replacement text {repl} for a user defined command is scanned for special
escape sequences, using <...> notation. Escape sequences are replaced with
values from the entered command line, and all other text is copied unchanged.
