I propose we rip out everything except --help-config -m that shows the

I just proposed that as --help-config-raw. I don't think we want to head in the direction of having flags like -m be useful only if preceeded by a --help-config flag --- it is too confusing. I think --help-config and --help-config-raw is all we will ever need.



Or you could allow --help-config to take an optional argument of "raw".

I agree that having flag interdependencies like the original is confusing.

Just a thought.
