If I type name.module --help and the command line yield too long a list of parameters, I normally prefer reading it on the manual page, where it is more clear, and I find extremely useful the usage examples of the flags. I don't find it very informative to list all the flags in command line, even the less used. There could be for example a --ext-help for extended help display. So for example, typing only --help would list only most used options and would end with "type --ext-help for extended help" or something like that. My 2 c -- Margherita Di Leo
