Description
The Cli author, or better yet the end-user via an environment variable, should determine whether to display help after parse errors.
I hate that behavior with a passion because of how often it leads to scrolling to see the parse error. If I want help, I will ask for it. I never want to see it on errors.
(This is from seeing the code in ParseErrorAction.
