+description: 
+     - Executes a low-down and dirty SSH command, not going through the module
+       subsystem. This is useful and should only be done in two cases. The
+       first case is installing C(python-simplejson) on older (Python 2.4 and
+       before) hosts that need it as a dependency to run modules, since nearly
+       all core modules require it. Another is speaking to any devices such as
+       routers that do not have any Python installed. In any other case, using
+       the M(shell) or M(command) module is much more appropriate. Arguments
+       given to M(raw) are run directly through the configured remote shell.
+       Standard output, error output and return code are returned when
+       available. There is no change handler support for this module.
+     - This module does not require python on the remote system, much like
+       the M(script) module.
+notes:
+   -  If you want to execute a command securely and predictably, it may be
+      better to use the M(command) module instead. Best practices when writing
+      playbooks will follow the trend of using M(command) unless M(shell) is
+      explicitly required. When running ad-hoc commands, use your best
+      judgement.
