In the doc, the signature line is followed by a list of short descriptions in a third order. That perhaps should be changed to follow the same corrected order as the signature line. On the other hand, it matches the order of the detail sections that follow. On the third hand, that current order is confusing as it intermixes parameters that affect the help message behavior with those that affect the actual argument parsing behavior. I think these should be separated with one group following the other.
