Description

I'm a big fan of Python Fire, it's been a huge help in building my projects. I have a small improvement request: I noticed that when I don't pass any arguments to my Fire program, I get an overview of all options of my class. However, when I pass --help, it only describes the class-level functions and misses out the instance-level ones.

I would love to see consistent behavior between the two approaches, ideally it should print all options of the class in both cases.

Thank you for your time!
