------------------------------------------

Hi [~vasanthkumar],
thank you for your comment. I personally do not see much difference between erasing first couple of characters or last couple of characters, so it seems to me on the same level of user friendliness. However by introducing "-h" we're polluting all the functions as they do need to understand the parameter and must ensure that it's used only without any other arguments. Also as the commands do not support arguments, then user would have to use "help command" to get help for a command and "command function -h" to get help for a function which seems as unnecessary discrepancy in behavior.
