hidden main

[tballard]

A small thing, but I have a habit of calling a script on one box from the same script on another box (nfs mounted home, etc) and thus have to have at least one main method that is an implementation detail and of no interest to the user. It would be nice not to have to advertise it to the user, much as you allow hiding an arg ...

Vote for this.

Currently there is hidden setting only for arg

@arg
...
hidden: Boolean: if true this arg will not be included in the rendered help text.

but there could also be

@main
...
hidden: Boolean: if true this main will not be included in the rendered help text.

This would then hide the main method and its help text from program level help:

myprogram --help

but show hidden help text in case main specific help is requested:

myprogram secretmain --help

So the user must know beforehand the existence of the secretmain in order to get its help text.
