Yes, this (plus the several followups) is quite good.  The only thing
more I could wish for is that TAB would move down the columns in menu
selection, rather than across, so that you don't get equivalent options
offered consecutively.  But that's such a minor thing that it's likely
not worth expending effort.

Having seen it both ways (thanks to that typo in _describe) I think this
is just fine.

My only other suggestion at this point would be to change the default
separator from `--' to one of `-', `=', or `:', but as it's configurable
that is again an exceptionally minor issue.
