a patch implementing flag reference command line help with simple search,
close to what was suggested in comment:5, was sent to cvs-ghc:
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2007-October/039184.html
here is the patch description:
{{{
add flag --flags (FIX #1226)
Ticket #1226 calls for a '--full-flag-help' flag, presenting the
users guide's flag reference or man page in text format. Since a
man page isn't much good on windows, and a full listing of flags
isn't all that helpful, either, i've implemented a slight refinement
of these suggestions:
ghc --flags [<section>:]<flag>
lists flags containing substring <flag> in
sections containing substring <section>
examples:
ghc --flags :
lists the full flag reference
ghc --flags @
lists section headers only (because @ doesn't occur in flags)
ghc --flags Prof:
lists flags in the 'Profiling options' section
ghc --flags ghci
lists flags mentioning ghci in all sections
}}}
