  Neutron CLI help is  not friendly  & intuitive.

Status in OpenStack Neutron (virtual network service):
  Invalid
Status in Python client library for Neutron:

Bug description:
  Neutron CLI help usage is not friendly / intuitive.

  There are few issues with the CLI help:

  1. too much output like :
  - output formatters 
  - positional arguments:
  - shell formatter 
  Which doesn't exist in other components ( nova ... ) 

  2. There is no explain on what are expected values 
  -admin-state-down -  No explain about ( True | False ) 

  User guide doesn't have the options 
  http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/content/neutron_client_commands.html
  only API
  https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Neutron/APIv2-specification#Network 

  
  3. additional info which relates to the extension is not added , like 

  --provider:network_type vlan 
  --providerhysical_network <phys-net-name> 
  --provider:segmentation_id <VID>

  only in API doc
  http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-network/admin/content/provider_attributes.html

  
  compare netween nova help boot and neutron help net-create
