Comment(by boost-tracker@…):

 I want to add my vote to this request. The output format is completely
 unusable like that. In my specific case there are 7 characters left for
 the text. I would propose to always output the description at column 13
 (or maybe 20), formating it as shown in the following example:


 {{{
 --parameter_name arg (="a very long default string")
             This options does something stupid to the "very long default
 string"
             which you can pass in after the parameter name.

 --help Print this help

 --foo A small option name but a very long description which
 continues and
             continues until it breaks.
 }}}

 best regards,

 Brian
