I hard forgotten this bit in the email thread:

Serhiy: What do you think about -hh (and maybe —help-full) printing full help?

Guidp: Is there enough of a use case for this to bother?

Barry: Maybe not.  I’d say if it was easy to implement, why not, but if it’s a pain, don't bother.


The option parsing code is easy to edit, and the function would only need to call the other usage functions with a blank line inbetween.  Should I add it?
