Unfortunately this is required by bootstrapping.  The UInteger for the
param definition is really confusing, in the underlying implementation
it's still "signed".  If you grep "(unsigned) param", you can see a few
examples.  I guess the "UInteger" is mainly for the param value range
checking.

I thought 99 is enough for the RHS in ">". just realized it's more clear
with 100.  Will fix!

I did some testings, the line breaks writing can still survive in the
"--help=param" show, the lines are concatenated with " ".  Although
there seems no this kind of writing practices, I am guessing you want
me to do line breaks for their descriptions?  If so, I will make them
short as the above "Target Undocumented..." line.  Or do you want it
to align source code ColumnLimit 80 (for these cases, it would look
shorter)?

OK, thanks again!
