Hm.  If somebody actually puts a description of the same option both
before and after the `--' in the _arguments positional-parameter list,
I think they should get both descriptions included in the listing.  In
other cases I suppose I'd prefer that it take only the user-supplied
description (not the parsed --help one), but I don't think it's very
important to change the current behavior.
