There are many options that do not show up with --help including all of the --disable-feature options.

I believe that historically --help hasn't show all of the options ruby supports in order to allow --help to fit on one screen.

You can view these options on the man page.

Yes, another idea is adding a new option to show all.

For instance, -h to short help, and --help to long help ?

Yes, please, something like this. Remove one of the options showing up
currently so that the "show all options" option can be added to the list
that will fit in one screen. Then people can use the "show all options"
option to look at the whole list, and those that want the screen to fit
on 24 lines (which I think includes Matz) are happy, too. As for which
option to removed from the short list, I can make some suggestions if
it's necessary. But there are many that don't look terribly important.

Regards, Martin.

tadf reverted this feature.

i reverted your commit, not feature or bug.
you reverted a test.

matz wants to print -h in a page.
because, user can read summary without pager.

but, we can use more pages for --help even if we want to write more or all.
big paper isn't necessary absolutely.

fixed at r37818.

No rationale, no description but just failing test makes no sense.
File a ticket first.
