distinction between required arguments in help formatter

           Summary: distinction between required arguments in help formatter

          Platform: Other

          Priority: Other

        ReportedBy: sonstone@cox.net


It would be nice if you could optionally break up the output of the help 
formatter into required arguments and optional arguments.  The average user on 
a lot of applications only cares about the required arguments, so it would be 
nice if those showed up first and it was clear that the arguments below them 
were optional.
