it's basically a huge state
machine for parsing command text.
I find that interesting that it would not be considered a CPU.
After all, that is all a CPU does. It would seem that the only

It sure sounds like a CPU to me.
If you broaden the definition of CPU like that, is there any kind of
sequential logic (state machine) that you would NOT consider to be a CPU?
