=begin
I execute below command.
I think it shows help messages, but execute tests only.

$ ruby test_foo.rb --help

For convenience, I want it to show help messages.

Why not use optparse library?

help message with --help is good.

But don't use optparse to keeptest system small.

Ryan, what do you think about this feature request?

Sorry I took so long to get back to you.

I've already implemented this in minitest w/ OptionParser. I just released minitest (and a bunch of other stuff) and also imported it into ruby-trunk.

Thanks
