when this PR will be merged? I need to create a PR on cobra project which uses this project after this commit being merged.

@romberli it's extremely unlikely that you're PR will ever get a response, let alone be merged. The maintainers only seem to care if you work on a big project or work at google. I suggest you use my fork, which works with cobra, and has already addressed the spirit of what you're looking for.

@cornfeedhobo ,so sad to hear that, but it seems that I do not have other choice, because cobra will never use other forks.

@romberli My fork has instructions on using it with cobra.

@romberli Could you expand a little bit on the rationale behind this feature? Why is it desirable to print usage info without the default values for flags?
