Why is this so complicated? Can't you just do_help from
should_do_help()?

Yes, I could, but that would be in conflict with my understanding of
the Law of Demeter.

What is that?

The overall semantics seems strange anyway, though - it seems that
'tg mail --help -r' will try to show help for '-r' instead of
'mail'.

True, but then we are parsing command lines. Would you be opposed to
a getopt (POSIX) approach to normalising/parsing the command line?

No. :-)
