Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
spotLight is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The spotLight command is used to edit the parameters of existing
spotLights, or to create new ones. The default behaviour is to
create a new spotlight.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
