Perhaps I didn't explain myself clearly :(

I do understand that *currently* both are part of the business logic. 
However, what puzzles me is: why is it written this way? Why isn't -h 
intercepted at the outer global level, but instead handed off to a 
function like parse_options() for interception?

Is this due to historical reasons?

Please forgive my slowness. I would appreciate it if you could offer 
some guidance!

Thanks,
