It would be neat if there was a way for clients to provide helpful hints
for occasions where Optik botches the formatting of the help, as I'm
sure could happen.

Also, Optik doesn't *force* all clients to have -h/--help; you can
always create your own OptionParser subclass with no standard help
option.  But it's awkward and difficult to do so, which is just as good
as force.
