Comment (by carter):

 @jan, on one hand you're right.

 On the other hand, most other compilers (eg clang and gcc) do have a way
 of listing all of the documented options, or at least most of them.

 however, Theres definitely value in having a curated list of all the
 stable flags when someone does
 {{{
 ghc -h
 or
 ghc --help
 }}}

 which we currently only do i the barest minimal sense possible
