$man find

...Ok, maybe "primaries" used with find don't count as command line options.

Arguably, the output of "foo -h" is more light weight than "man foo".  
OTOH, if lots of long options
make it necessary to do this instead:  "foo -h 2>&1 | more -es", then I 
see where you're coming from.

Why not just supply an one-letter option that is equivalent for every 
long option?  Might make for
a more verbose man page, but...
