 If you have time for this, go ahead and borrow the text
 from POSIX.  I think it should fix all the issues that
 are mentioned in the PR (except adding the -p option).
 I mean, a good SYNOPSIS in my opinion would look like
 this:
 
 SYNOPSIS
      split [-l line_count] [-a suffix_length] [file [name]]
      split -b byte_count[k|m] [-a suffix_length] [file [name]]
      split -p pattern [-a suffix_length] [file [name]]
 
 Feel free to also borrow any changes in option and
 argument names, and any descriptional text if it makes
 it look better.  Just make sure the SYNOPSIS and
 usage() stay in sync.
