back to the roots: command vs switch

back to the roots: command vs switch

[andrea valle]

I'm taking a long tour in the wiki (congrats for the work).
It has reminded me that I don't know what's the difference between 
command and switch.
Can anyone bring me to the light?
Thanks a lot

\command{the command works with its parameter(s)}

{\switch the switch influences everything in its group}

e.g. \em is a switch, \quotation is a command
