It looks like those comments originated as an implementation remark:

  public static let arguments: [String] = {
17
    // Use lazy initialization of static properties to safely initialize the
18
    // public 'arguments' property on first use.

Would you mind filing a bug on bugs.swift.org <http://bugs.swift.org/> for 
this? All of the properties on CommandLine could use some documentation 
attention.
