Feature proposal: ghc --full-flag-help ?

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

Suppose ghc --full-flag-help simply printed the URL
        http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/flag-reference.html
Now you can see it in your web browser by clicking on it.

| Me too. At the same time --help should probably direct the user at the
| section of the manual which deals with flags, as well as the
| documentation overview. I always find myself searching for the flags
