This is in the context of me using poetry==1.7.1

Hi! was going through the documentation and saw the --why flag for the poetry show option.

Currently, the only explanation as to what the flag does is:

--why: When showing the full list or a --tree for a single package, display why a package is included.

I'd say what it means is super clear. Of course, I tried out the flag, which is clearer when used with the --tree option. Something like this would be more obvious to me:

--why: When showing the full list, or a --tree for a single package, display whether a package is a direct dependency or which packages require it

Thanks a lot, looking forward to version 1.8!

I wanted to confirm my understanding was correct first, but I can submit a merge request regardless!
