--help --verbose shows stack trace about claide

[segiddins]

Actually, I'm not sure that this is a bug. --verbose prints a stack trace for any uncaught exception. @irrationalfab, can I close this?

[alloy]

Printing the backtrace when the --verbose option is given is by design. While it makes less sense in the case of --help, I’d prefer that logic to stay simple and consistent.

@alloy why is the help an exception?

[alloy]

@irrationalfab I assume you mean the help! method? It’s so you can find the location in the source where from the apparent inability to do something is raised, making it easier to debug and fix/enhance.

[fabiopelosin]

I think that it should not be an exception if invoked by the --help flag.

[alloy]

Ok, that’s fair, so it should just print and exit from here.

@mrackwitz Are you willing to look into whipping up a patch for this?

[mrackwitz]

@alloy: Done. See #37.
