+
+The purpose of the first macro is to make it easy to parse command line
+arguments in a hierarchical way using the built-in @racket[command-line] form. The
+second macro is an additional helper that displays the help message
+automatically when no command-line argument is specified at this level, which
+avoids the case where the user tries one argument is then has no information
+about what to do next.
