Nice one.

I've confirmed that the man pages only differ
in the additional message in some commands.
On caveat I'd have is that you merged the
\n from the messages previous to emit_mandatory_arg_note()
into that function itself.
While logically the right thing to do,
it could introduce some churn for translators.

Though fuzzy matching will probably work here,
so +1
