Since commit c199c87 usage() now prints out usage of all commands, which is not always the desired behaviour. Would it be possible to make this optional, or add a new method for printing the old-style usage?

The rationale being that when you have a dozen of commands, printing all of them will be of little value for readability reasons. On the other hand a nice overview of the available commands with their short descriptions helps a lot.

Regards.
