Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands got too cute and
had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in the -help output.  I guess the
idea was to make reference to the fact that clearly you know about the -help
option since you're currently looking at its output.  I think it's a bad idea to
overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're supposed to indicate
what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're allowed to specify.  It doesn't
make sense to show that you're allowed to "abbreviate" the switch to its entire
length.
