progn is technically not a command, which is a function with an
interactive form at the beginning of its body (optionally preceded by a
doc string). progn is actually a special form, which is a primitive
function (i.e. implemented in C) whose arguments are not evaluated
before being passed to the function: instead, the special form is
responsible for evaluating them as desired.
See the "Function Type", "Primitive Function Type", "Special Forms", and
"Defining Commands" nodes of the Emacs Lisp manual.
