The question was rhetorical.
The Dictionary line
Control words are used in Explicit Definition (:) and are
punctuation that determine the sequence of execution
is true, but not fully informative. The NuVoc version explains more
completely - and if it's not complete enough, you can emend it.
I'm suggesting that if we all use NuVoc as the main reference, we'll be
better off, in the long run.
