It would fit in well after the lines
{{{
Running Sage:
file.[sage|py|spyx] -- run given .sage, .py or .spyx files
}}}

Right.

zlib sqlite", which looks a little funny to me. This is not a big deal,
but if you could fix it, that would be nice.

If possible, commas would be nice. It looks fine with a single argument,
but with multiple args, I think some punctuation would help.

We say that we do: at the end of "sage -advanced", it says
{{{
You can also use -- before a long option, e.g., 'sage --optional'.
}}}
I see that a few options are missing, like `--merge``, but most of them
are there. The script sage-sage is a mess anyway, but cleaning it up
belongs on another ticket^TM^.
