Help default output syntax not standard.. make extensible or change? about fluent-command-line-parser

Thanks Meai1

I'm surprised I've got away this long with having such a bad help formatter. I have actually been working on a better implementation in the formatter branch.

You can specify a different formatter to use when you setup the help option (if you wanted to roll your own):

var parser = new FluentCommandLineParser();
parser.SetupHelp("?").WithCustomFormatter(new CommandLineOptionFormatterMark2());

If you wanted to try out the new formatter you can either grab the formatter build from
TeamCity, or copy the CommandLineOptionFormatterMark2 class into your project and add it to the parser using WithCustomerFormatter(ICommandLineOptionFormatter)

Although not exactly as you described, it does produce output like the following

-p, --platform  MyDescription
-s, --syntax    Syntax for the state machine

I'm hoping to find some time to release these improvement as well as others soon.

Great library btw. When do you think this will be included in the released version on NuGet? I am starting to get requests from user to have the format better aligned...
