Right, but too much effort for the user.  Leaves too much room for James 
to forget a quote or mistype the var name.

But isn't there a way to tell Rake to ignore any additional tasks it 
thinks are queued up?

When I run

  $rake com This is my message

it works fine, but at the very end rake complains that it doesn't know 
anything about task 'This'.
