--help and --version are silent #4166
Description
if (optionRoot['help'].valueAtCurrent() as bool) {
logInfo('dartdoc version: $dartdocVersion');
logInfo('Generate HTML documentation for Dart libraries.\n');
logInfo(optionRoot.argParser.usage);
exitCode = 0;
return null;
}
if (optionRoot['version'].valueAtCurrent() as bool) {
logInfo('dartdoc version: $dartdocVersion');
exitCode = 0;
return null;
}It seems to me that logInfo doesn't print things. Maybe we should use print instead, or maybe the default log-level changed accidentally.

Hmm yeah in
dartdoc_options.dart, we calllogInfoif 'help' or 'version' is passed, but that's outside theDartdoc.executeGuardedclosure, so maybe they should justprint...
