Currently you set the value with an initializer and write about it on
the description. 

<snip>
...
[Option("The maximum {number} of times to retry the connection [default = 4]", 'r', "retries")]
public int retries = 4;
...
</snip>

But if you want it open a wishlist-type case in bugzilla for it, please.
After Mono 1.0, probably I'll find some time to work on it. Something
like

<snip>
...
[Option("The maximum {number} of times to retry the connection [default = @default]", 'r', "retries")]
public int retries = 5;
...
</snip>

The expected result would be a line in help like

 -r --retries:number  The maximum number of times to retry the connection [default = 5]

Suggestions welcome!!!
