The current widespread pattern is to print_usage() after most errors in
commandline arguments but I find it quite annoying. The help is always
available under --help for each command. As the bugfix is good I'm going
to apply it and replace it with exit().

We can start removing misues of print_usage() from the codebase in the
next dev cycle.
