I began using ffmpeg with an older version and had expected ""-h topic"" to list topics I could begin to get help on, and there is where you could have placed the -h filter=name and amoung the entries you could offer an option to list terms which would allow to query the definition and usage of ""command support/slice threading/timeline support"" amoung others.

So, if theres no point to ""topic"" can it be removed since it responds the same as just -h, or is it being backward compatible?
