Hi
1. word-wrap the description to fit in 80 columns
(+1). 70 and 80 are defensible, anything else seems a bit of a weird choice for line length...
2. use less padding between columns
(+0.8) - given its in columns the spacing is not that necessary, but still slightly nice. Overall, I'd use less padding but don't think the decision is as clear cut (but I still supported it)
3. omit the args on short options when there is also a corresponding long option
(+1) I recently modified Hoogle to do this, its much more readable, and stops duplicating useless information. The only people who this may confuse are people with less experience, but they should probably use the long options anyway, so it isn't an issue. So agree with all changes. Thanks Neil
