Problem with no_help and dependent tasks

[aurelianito]

If I hide a task using the @no_task decorator and need it in another, the help for the second one is missing of the parameters defined by @cmdopts in the first one.

Hereunder is a POC:

from paver.easy import *

@task
@no_help
@cmdopts([("p1=",None,"p1 help")])
def hidden(options):
  print options["p1"]

@task
@needs("hidden")
@cmdopts([("p2=",None,"p2 help")])
def published(options):
  "Some kind of explanation of what it does"
  print options["p2"]

If I run paver help published will show the option for p2 but not for p1. I expect both to be there. How can I accomplish that?

@no_help or @no_task?

Sorry, @no_help (as it is in the example). My mistake :-/.

I think that the problem is in tasks.py, line 439 (https://github.com/paver/paver/blob/master/paver/tasks.py#L439). I expect the @no_help decorator to suppress the task from the main help, but I dont expect it to hide the options available to dependent tasks.
