I guessed it's not a bug, "UInteger" is more for the opt/param value range
checking, but could be improved.  PR102440 filed as you suggested.  :)

OK, I've used ColumnLimit 80 for that.  The outputs in --help= before/after
the line breaks look the same (smoother than what I can expect).  :)

Committed in r12-3767, thanks!
