I've merged the latest main branch into this PR. It is still missing a configuration option for disabling this feature or setting a minimum number of help text lines for triggering it, as requested by @terryjreedy on the bpo issue. |

This missed the boat for inclusion in Python 3.9 which accepts security fixes only as of today. |
