 {{{
 **--hash-password**::

 }}}

 Should say that it prefers an argument.

 There's also some crazy-weird edgecase behavior going on here, where if
 you say "tor --hash-password" it will pick "", but if you say "tor --hash-
 password --hush" it will both stop printing out so much, *and* use "--
 hush" as your control password. I think. I'm not sure if that wants to be
 a separate ticket or what.
