Comment:

 After discussing this on IRC we ended up with the following unresolved
 issues:
  - {{{--help}}} for subcommands no longer mentions the global options
  - because the new version accepts {{{-d}}}/{{{--node-directory}}} only
 before the command, and the old version accepted it only after the command
 (and ignored it if before), there is no way to write a script that works
 with both.

 We considered allowing {{{-d}}} both before and after but could not decide
 whether that was worth the complexity. Zooko?
