I don't think anyone opposes that idea. But since lots of options are for
multiple protocols or "sections" it really isn't that easy to put them in a
single specific one. So I'm more in favour of:

... yes I agree, and it could show the help output for all options that are
marked relevant for http. And we could have virtually any amount of topics.

We just need someone to implement it! =)
