Xenner doesn't start its help output right at the start of line, and
there isn't any other output there that causes ambiguity in current
qemu help output:

  # qemu-kvm | grep -- -drive
  -drive [file=file][,if=type][,bus=n][,unit=m][,media=d][index=i]

If one happens to be added in the future, that's fine because -drive will
be enabled anyway for future releases.

Regards,
Dan.
