      An example of what to improve is the ./wt dump command where if I type

      ./wt dump --help
./wt dump -?
./wt dump

      I get

      wiredtiger_open: [WT_VERB_DEFAULT][ERROR]: int __posix_open_file(WT_FILE_SYSTEM , WT_SESSION *, const char *, WT_FS_OPEN_FILE_TYPE, uint32_t, WT_FILE_HANDLE *), 818: ./WiredTiger.lock: handle-open: open: No such file or directory
wt: WT_TRY_SALVAGE: database corruption detected

      rather than an error about incorrect usage of the command.
