Agreed. I have also been bitten by optparse munging paragraphs together
in the description, and it's annoying. I *think* we could get away with
two simple rules:
* blank lines separate paragraphs
* indented lines don't get wrapped
Obviously no one wants to reinvent reStructuredText, but I think that
should do the trick.
If that works, I think the suggested 'examples' arg becomes unnecessary.
