Hm.  You want to add --print-long-opts to almost all commands?
And burden all --help outputs with listing it?  But... is this
option useful for users?  Or really only for bash-completion?
If the latter, wouldn't it be better to leave it undocumented?

If the option is added, it had better be called --show-long-options.
Printing is to paper, and long options shouldn't abbreviate any of
its constituent words.

Oh, and if added, should it be added to all of the manpages too?

Benno
