Echo_Cmd API eats first character???

    Running Echo_Cmd(L"Hello") in a plugin displays "ello". And yet,
    Echo_Cmd(L" Hello") displays " Hello". It looks like the command eats
    *precisely* one character.

    And yet, other API functions like Delay_Cmd do not.

    Bug, (extremely bizarre) feature, or what?

    Feature, because people want to do things like "echo." to print a blank

    Hmm, I always assumed echo. was an explicit special case. And I see
    that CMD does the same. OK, I was right, it's a very bizarre feature,
    but the bizarreness is CMD's, not yours...

    Thanks for the explanation.
    Paul.
