R. David Murray added the comment:

Please open individual issues to address individual modules that you would like 
to contribute to improving.  Adding/fixing help is often best done by rewriting 
the argument parsing...contributions have been made to improve several modules 
already.  In most cases we don't have tests for the -m features, and those need 
to be created first.  In some cases we don't really want to continue to support 
whatever -m code exists (because it exists for no-longer-relevant historical 
reasons...though that doesn't apply in the two cases you reference).  So each 
module needs to be addressed individually.

To address the specific issue you raise: I believe that when we have rewritten 
things, we have chosen to follow argparse's lead and support both -h and --help 
for the display of help information.
