+\r
+I think one of the problems for documentation is that we have two\r
+classes of "user" of the cli: one is actually people and one is front\r
+ends (and yes scripting does blur the boundary). Would it be worth\r
+splitting based on that. For example, the --format-version is really\r
+only for front-end use. --format=text is for human use, whereas the\r
+other options are mostly front-end (text0 might be an exception)\r
