What, you think that commands that give no useful help at all should be
the *default*? Only clued users are going to change the default, and
they're the ones who aren't going to need help.

This should be Y by default and probably it's not worth making it
conditional (how much space would we save? I doubt it's as much as 1K,
i.e. 1/4 page).

You say that like it's a *bad* thing. (But, testcases? In a manpage?
That I've never seen.)
