As for Jeff's suggestion of omitting options from the `--help' output:
I couldn't find a way to do that using parse-options.[ch]. It's also
customary for `--help' to include the full usage examples regardless
of how long they get (just look at wget, ls etc.). The SYNOPSIS
sections in manual pages by comparison usually aim for brevity.

You can hide options from the -h output (not --help-all) by using the
PARSE_OPT_HIDDEN flag.
