I think later user wants a bit more descriptive explanation, like... Usually, argh element in struct option points at a placeholder value (e.g. "val"), and this is used to show --option=<val> by enclosing the string inside of angle brackets. When the option takes something more complex (e.g. optional part separated by comma), you would want to produce a help that looks like --option=<val1>[,<val2>] In such a case, the caller can pass a string to argh with placeholders already enclosed in necessary angle brackets (e.g. "<val1>[,<val2>]") and set this option.
