Display apps from all categories in one level with the title containing
the category information as prefix.
.IP "\fB\-F sep\fR, \fB\-\-flat\-sep=sep\fR" 4
.IX Item "-F sep, --flat-sep=sep"
When used with \f(CW\*(C`\-\-flat\*(C'\fR, the specified character sequence is used as
separator between the section titles.
