3 lines feels long; you got away with only 2 lines in 3/7 by using
longer line wrapping, while still fitting in the user's 80 column output:
+" --object type,id=ID,... define an object such as 'secret' for
providing\n"
+" passwords and/or encryption keys\n"

256 would work. But 258 doesn't hurt.

Same comments as on 3/7.
We now have 5 very similar functions (hmp.c, vl.c, and your three
additions); should this be factored into a common reusable function
rather than open-coding it into each client?
