Comment (by jstolarek):

 I have no strong reasons to object. I'm just not sure if this is the most
 important info that should be mentioned by `--help`, but I guess it won't
 do any harm.

 Replying to [comment:5 carter]:
 > listing all of the documented options
 Just to be clear - `--show-options` lists all options, whether documented
 or not :) Do we have any options that we would like to keep hidden from
 users?
