What about adding the version number info into the -v (Verbose Output) area?
That way by running the verbose output on a recovery, you could see at a
glance exactly which version you were running without having to scroll
anywhere! Seems to me like a much better place for it than adding it into
the -h (Help area). Obviously -V (Version) will still serve a purpose like
it does now, but adding the version info into the verbose output could make
things even more intuitive!
This is a good idea! It does not interfere with man page creation, and
is so easy to implement that I have implemented it as I read your
message. :-)
