Well, you're entitled to your opinions.  If I accept the I18N patch that
was just posted, perhaps you can just provide your preferred help for
"--help" as a translation.  ;-)  (Yes, I was kidding.)

I assume you still follow optik-checkins, so you'll know as soon as I
checkin the _add_help_option() change.  When you have a chance, can you
try it out with Docutils?  I suspect it will make your life a smidge
easier, but I'd like your confirmation!
