Transparent task to task

Now the topic is up.
Am I the only one wondering why so much documentation use the
TYPE command to activate?
It bothers me a bit to have the TYPE command execute code.
$ type 0"myusername mypassword"::srv.com
$ define/nolog sys$output sys$net
$ show time
$ write sys$output "Deleting all files"
$ exit
$ type 0"myusername mypassword"::"task=srv.com"

Deleting all files
$ type 0"myusername mypassword"::"srv.com"
$ define/nolog sys$output sys$net
$ show time
$ write sys$output "Deleting all files"
$ exit
$ type 0"myusername mypassword"::"0=srv.com"

Deleting all files
Inserting two characters and type becomes execute.
