New submission from Éric Araujo <[email protected]>:

> :
The output of "python -h" is 104 lines long now. It was only 51 lines in
3.6. 35% of it is about the -X option, and 30% about environment
variables. Also some lines in the -X option description are too long
(102 columns). Both topics are "advanced" and mostly interested for
debugging. I suggest to move them out of the main help output. […]
Guido:
-X opt : implementation-specific option; use -X help to list options.
We could also see if we can put the help text for each of the supported -X
flags in the table defining these flags […]
GvR again:
--help-env […] prints info about env vars (new flag)
I would enjoy trying to make a patch around next week!
