Output of `--help` hard to read leading hyphens on options when on black background #48

The output of --help is nicely colorized/formatted -- bravo!

However, the color of the leading hyphens on options is very difficult to see when rendered on a black background terminal.

I don't have any good suggestions. I'm not aware of an API to query the terminal color settings, so you could pick better contrasting colors.

hi, yes the missing query for background color is real problem. Only solution is to force a background color - then display - then reset.

reworked the help doc a bit, maybe better now. reopen if not.
