Ah, yes, this was not very easy to do, because "default" command line
options are known by Runner itself, not by the command line option
parsing code. This is because we don't want command line options
defaults to override annotations.

But, from UX standpoint, users don't care about that internal detail,
and rightfully expect defaults to be spelled in -h.
