Description
I think that it would be nice if we could display additional text about application if someone types `MyApp --help`, and additional help for verb if someone types `MyApp Verb --help`.
I know there is `HelpText` property on `BaseAttribute`. It is nice for communicating what given option does, however I think that it is not suitable for extended, in-depth explanation. I would see it like that:
```
MyApp.exe help
MyApp 1.0.0
Copyright (C) 2018 MyApp
verb1 Help text for verb 1
verb2 Help text for verb 2
help Display more information on a specific command.
version Display version information.
Long explanation about app
```
```
MyApp.exe help verb1
MyApp 1.0.0
Copyright (C) 2018 MyApp
verb1 Help text for verb 1
verb2 Help text for verb 2
help Display more information on a specific command.
version Display version information.
Long explanation about verb1
```
