I suspect the only reason the dis CLI isn't documented is because it's been around for so long (22 years!) that nobody previously noticed it was missing: https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/1fdae12c93246fcf4abbf882ba08df789070dfcc

Folks then either didn't know about it, or already knew how to use it.

Even the migration to use argparse was a code cleanup from a user that happened to be reading the module source code and noticed that it didn't already do so: https://bugs.python.org/issue18538

I can see value in supporting `-c` and `-m` options to dis to align with the main interpreter CLI.
