Option alternatives are poorly separated in help #35

I have a suggestion for a slight usability improvement. The help functionality doesn't separate the long and short names of an option very well. Example:

[--port -p value] : Webserver port

The specification of --port and -p as alternatives looks somewhat confusing in my opinion. It kind of implies that you need to specify both to use the option. Perhaps the format could be changed to something like:

[-p/--port value]: Webserver port

or:

[-p value | --port value]: Webserver port

or:

[--port value]: Webserver port (short form: -p)

There are probably other good formats as well.
