This makes me curious. What's the use case where you want to allow the user to pass arguments on the command line, but you don't want that user to be able to use '--help' to find out what arguments may be passed?
I wanted to create a clone of an existing program that had no help option and instead gave the help output if it saw an invalid option.
I find it very annoying if a program floods my terminal with a help page, when I just misspelled something. A short descriptive message that points to the mistake would be of more help for me.
