Way of printing option descriptions?

[njh]

The option_t structure has a description string defined. And most of the option_t structure do seem to define a description for each of the options.

For example:

    { "ipv6cp-accept-remote", o_bool, &ipv6cp_allowoptions[0].accept_remote,
      "Accept peer's interface identifier for itself", 1 },

But I can't see any way of printing this out? Is it a feature waiting to be implemented?

Looks like it is. I added that back in 1998, so I don't remember exactly what I had in mind.

A variant of the dump or dryrun option to print the selected options could be useful. Or a "long help" option to print all the option names and their descriptions.
