[request-tracker-maintainers] Bug#488596: wish for "rt foo --help" as alias for "rt help foo"

Package: rt3.6-clients
Version: 3.6.6-4
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/rt-3.6

The GNU long option --help is a very common idiom on Debian GNU/Linux,
and frequently I type something like "rt ls foo=bar", getting the
syntax wrong, so without thinking I simply hit ^P and add "--help",
i.e. "rt ls foo=bar --help".  This just tells me to use the rt help
command.  I wish rt would save me the extra work of re-typing "rt help
foo".
