I realised that I am used to scroll up in case of errors to see the first message, i.e. the idea to print the help first and the error in the end was rather counterintuitive. Let's take a new approach and print the error first again and ask the user if the help shall be printed, this way we only show it on demand and don't clutter the output -- i.e. still see the error first without losing the ability to see the help quickly
