Sadly, this is still a known problem and it got worse when we became
more consistent about printing options for things like matrices and
vectors (which rarely have prefixes and for which many options used to
be hidden).  Fixing it is somewhat at odds with our desire to remove
global variables whenever possible, but I think it needs to be fixed.  I
tend to filter -help output with grep, FWIW.
