Should I somehow *assume* that "--help" is supported?

You can in the case we're discussing, but only because bash is a GNU
program and `--help' is part of the GNU coding standards.

Hmm... and the GNU coding standards says to exit with a zero exit
status... which is what pourko wanted.  But with the added documentation
(above), that does not matter, because you've now documented the

deviation from them.

If I change the return status in this case, I'll alter the documentation
appropriately.
