Optik long help strings

I'm trying to use the Optik package for parsing command line options.
However, I'm running into a problem overriding its line warping
routines. I'd like the help to print something like:

	options:
		-p, --pattern   Set pattern
			'xx'  use the xx pattern
			'yy'  use the yy pattern
			... more list of pattern options

Seems that optik thinks it knows better where the new lines should go.
Suggestions?
