When are long_desc shown for switches or flags?

[rsanheim]

I know that you can define long_desc for switches and flags like so:

  desc "Quiet mode: don't print anything, and don't auto-update"
  long_desc <<~LONG_DESC
    Quiet mode: don't print anything

    NOTE: this will override verbose mode, and also makes dry-run useless
  LONG_DESC
  switch %i[q quiet], default_value: false

In looking through the various help output code, I don't see where this the long_desc would ever get printed...in particular for global options.

I may just be missing it, or is this something that gli doesn't do currently?

The long_desc on commands shows up in the help for that command. long_desc for flags and switches only show up in the documentation produced via the _doc command all apps have, e.g. your_app _doc.

I couldn't figure out a decent way to show that in command-line help. If you have any ideas, I can look into it!
