Add newlines between options in help text
See original GitHub issueIn case of multi-line help messages for options the list of options cmd --help gets difficult to read. It would be great to have an option to toggle extra newlines after multi-line help messages / in general between option help messages.

I have an opinion: I think the spaces between options looks good, but I think that if there are options between some of the options, there should be blank lines between all of the options. It seems visually confusing to me for it to be inconsistent.
I don’t want this to be an option. If you think it’s more readable, just implement it as standard.
