Description

Suggestions are currently showing in the help output. This is not always the desired behavior, for example when suggestions are long, or when there are many. Let assume a path argument with suggestions made from the file system, it might not be desired that those suggestions are listed in the help output.

Ideally there should be a way to determine if suggestions are for the help output, so these could be customized in this case (not suggesting at all, providing only the first three, or any strategy). Or at the minimum, disable suggestions in help for specific arguments / options entirely.
