   I think Andy Tai made it clear that this sort far reaching changes
   are out of scope for tla.

I don't think that improving `tla help' is such a far reaching change.

   Now, to try being constructive, I believe Derek means that
   "improving" the help message involves hiding as much stuff as
   possible.

And I stronly disagree with hiding useful, even if it is not often
used (which is why it imperative that it is easily locatable),
information is a good idea.
