Description
The long parameter descriptions push the descriptive text over into a narrower column; the worst is
<Comma separated list of other modules to consult for types.>
I think the idea is to keep those shorter, like just <other modules>, and describe what it means in the descriptive paragraph instead.
But IMO it's also a bug that QCommandLineParser doesn't take terminal width into account: I can make the terminal wider, but qmltyperegistrar help still tries to fit into 80-ish columns, and fails miserably. Querying terminal width would require non-portable techniques though (at least one way for Windows and one for Unix/Linux). https://stackoverflow.com/questions/263890/how-do-i-find-the-width-height-of-a-terminal-window
