A "Geistesblitz": I'm going to do it the same way akonadictl does. Other
ideas are still very much appreciated.

Hi!
Currently balooctl's help looks like this:
$ balooctl ---help
Usage: balooctl [options] command status enable disable start stop
restart suspend resume check index clear config monitor indexSize list
Options:
-d, --device-id Restrict to device id.
Only applies to "balooctl list"
-s, --simulate-purge Simulate purge command.

-f, --format Output format (default)>.

-h, --help Displays this help.
Arguments:

status Print the status of the indexer

disable Disable the file indexer
start Start the file indexer
stop Stop the file indexer
restart Restart the file indexer
suspend Suspend the file indexer

check Check for any unindexed files and index
them

clear Forget the specified files

monitor Monitor the file indexer
indexSize Display the disk space used by index
list List database contents
When I add another one or two options everybody will turn their heads
in disgust and confusion.
The intention to provide a CLI in git--style is good, but
QCommandLineParser doesn't seem to provide this. What can I do to make
the help text look better and easier to understand?
Cheers,
Michael
