.. this seems relevant: range-diff is a diff of diffs, so for that particular command, I'd want to know if the option (e.g. --stat) is applied to the inner or outer diff.

Now back to your topic: Are you planning to send patches that autogenerate these helps based on our source code? Should I pay attention to some specific part of the output?
