only print usage when running without arguments

[rmminusrslash]

My colleagues keep thinking there is a stacktrace or unexpected behavior when they read output like:

Type: function String form: <function foo at 0x7fe9d8e47b90> File: path/to/file Line: 149

I propose to only print the usage string. I can make a pull request if you like the idea.

I put some thoughts about this here.

Essentially I agree that this information clutters the CLI and should not be displayed by default, but I think we should retain the ability to see this information. One way to do this would be to only show this information if the --verbose flag is present. What do you think of this?

same thoughts here. This looks like information that should be displayed when user specifies the --verbose explicitly.

We're putting together this change now, tracking it at #77.
The core of the change is that we'll showing only docstring + usage information by default, and the remaining information (Type, File, Line, etc) will only be shown in verbose mode.

Closing this ticket so we just track the issue in one place.

This discussion is relatively old -- is there now a way to suppress the fire trace and only show usage?
