For example - `{{{("",w"", po::value(), ""Perfrom write with N frames"")}}}` generates this `{{{-w [ -- ] arg : Perfrom write with N frames}}}` The ""[ -- ]"" part is confusing. So if long option name is empty, we don't print that part. Ideally, we should also print one dash for single character long option name if command_line_style::allow_long_disguise is specified, but I can't find a way to access those styles from option_description.
