I think you're looking for `suppress_verbose_help_message(true)`.
Yes, thank you. This function should be listed in the see-also portion
of "help help":
See also: doc, lookfor, which, info, suppress_verbose_help_message.
As an alternative, verbosity could maybe be an option:
-- help NAME
-- help '--list'
-- help '.'
-- help
-- help '--noverbose'
but the suppress_verbose_help_message() is geared to function form
because it returns the present state which couldn't be done with an option.
