The idea is to hide any flags that an end user is unlikely to need so that the -help output gets clearer. Some of the flags are also downright confusing, as they seem similar to unrelated D concepts. The hidden flags are still available using -help-hidden. Unfortunately, this is only possible on LLVM 3.3+.
Still not happy with it, but I feel it is still better than just "very verbose".

This is only a start, we could probably go much further in terms of usability by e.g. leveraging different sections. Also, some of the flags that are shown by default are probably of debatable use for most people, e.g.
-v-cg(who uses this anyway?),-vv(I'm thinking about statically disabling the logger in release builds unless it is explicitly enabled in CMake), …Unfortunately, it is not (easily) possible to implement this on pre-3.3 LLVM versions.
