Yeah this is shitty, and if you're a programmer reading this and you agree with it, be better. There is no excuse for under-documenting a CLI.

Even when I'm developing, I write out my usage text first, like -o [json,csv,pretty] specify output format (default 'pretty') [NOT IMPLEMENTED] or the like.
