+       * 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.
