Issue #13849 has been updated by sonots (Naotoshi Seo).


Changed as:

```
$ ./ruby --help
Usage: ./ruby [switches] [--] [programfile] [arguments]
   ...
  --dump=target[,....]
                  try --help=dump to show help messages of --dump
```

```
$ ./ruby --help=dump
Usage: ./ruby [switches] [--] [programfile] [arguments]
  --dump=insns    dump instruction sequences
  --dump=yydebug  dump yydebug of yacc parser generator
  --dump=parsetree, --dump=parsetree_with_comment
                  dump AST or AST with comments.
```

Now, `--dump=help` is kept.

----------------------------------------
Feature #13849: Show --dump options in help
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13849#change-66388

* Author: sonots (Naotoshi Seo)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: sonots (Naotoshi Seo)
* Target version: Next Major
----------------------------------------
Current help does not show any helps for --dump options such as --dump=insns.
I want to get them.
