But you increase the risk of hitting the CLI length limit if you've got
something like
*if Foo then perl %*0 else taskwindow perl %*0
where the condition Foo, the path for perl and %*0 could all be quite long.
And it becomes hard to pass a parameter which is a bare "else"
However, if you make Alias$@RunType a code variable you can solve the
length limit by only returning the text for the wanted version, and as
you're doing the if based on ARM code you can go for a more complex way
of condition checking if needed.
Rather hacky.
