Ah, hm, so much for that. Hm... I don't quite know what to think of this. It does indeed improve legibility. But the question is whether --help should be as condensed as possible, and if the user finds it hard to read, whether they should not just open the man page... Then again, our --help text already has 102 lines. Let me just think about it for a bit longer. :-) (And see whether others have opinions.)
And I've already expressed my opinion that it is already rather long, where making it longer is not necessarily making it smarter.
