Why the "--export-secret-key" switch is not listed in help screen?

It does say in the "gpg --help" output:

> (See the man page for a complete listing of all commands and options)

There are many more options and also commands in the full man(ual) page.
I suppose it was thought that exporting a private key was such a
relatively "rarely used" command it did not need to be among the most
used commands listed by "--help". Or it was simply an oversight :).
