Subject: Add easy help adding/accessing
I think it is cleaner to include a help string with the options, and provide a default function to print the help strings in a "standard" format. I've attached the modifications to the 0.18 version to add this. The functions added are: $opt->help([$desc]) returns a string represening the help strings the optional $desc gives a string for the non-flag arguments $opt->flag_help($flag) returns the help text associated with $flag Cheers, and thanks!

I've been wanting to do that for a while. It's a holiday weekend here, so I won't get a chance to look at it until next week, but thank you very much for taking this on. David
