Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior with AddPreOptionsLine("Usage: clitool.exe [command] [options]") when invoking --help and when no command is supplied. Review the help-customization entry points and examples to determine whether the default verb help can be retained; done means the custom usage line appears without removing each verb's help.

Description
I try to always add a line like:
"Usage: clitool.exe [command] [options]" when command is called with --help or without.
I could add it like: AddPreOptionsLine("Usage: clitool.exe [command] [options]"); but then the help for each verb was gone.
