Description
some flag properties (required, default, options) show up at the flag-level help.
It would be cool if dependsOn and exclusive did, too.
Right now, we rely descriptions (or errors) to tell the user what they should have done.

Research direction
Start by tracing the flag-level help generation and how existing properties such as required, default, and options are rendered. Check how dependsOn and exclusive are represented, then update the relevant help output and add or adjust coverage so both properties appear for applicable flags.
