  * Refer to test specification if planning to change the heuristic.
  * Note2: Input buffer management (ExtractLineFromInputBuffer()) can be tested
  * with non-line based terminals such as HyperTerminal or Realterm.
+ * Note3: If there is a need to handle commands with random data, the extended
+ * command checking can interfere with the character set of this random data.
+ * Best way to handle this random data is to create a handler for these commands
+ * which skips the valid "not to be parsed" data or use quotes. For these cases
+ * the CDunAtSpecialCmdHandler could be extended.
