For a quick start, if there's some way the tool does not match its
'help' output or if it doesn't act in a way you'd expect, that should be
fixed.  The output formatting is still pretty rough and should be
expected to change.  There's a difference between "human readable" mode
and "terse" mode, where we expect human-readable  mode to be used for
direct interaction by people with proper spacing and formatting and
whatever, and "terse" mode to be used by scripts.
