Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

@Brocco can you weight in?

FYI, this functionality maters, because it allows front end tools and IDE to understand what each version of ng is able to generate.

[catull]

Why is the line 59 in help.ts not changed to

          this.ui.writeLine(command.printDetailedHelp(commandOptions));

This change gives with ng help

ng generate <blueprint> <options...>
  Generates new code from blueprints.
  aliases: g
  --dry-run (Boolean) (Default: false)
    aliases: -d
  --verbose (Boolean) (Default: false)
    aliases: -v
  --pod (Boolean) (Default: false)
    aliases: -p
  --classic (Boolean) (Default: false)
    aliases: -c
  --dummy (Boolean) (Default: false)
    aliases: -dum, -id
  --in-repo-addon (String) (Default: null)
    aliases: --in-repo <value>, -ir <value>

and with ng help generate the desired output:
