 Summary of the bug:
 How to reproduce:

 With ffmpeg 4.2.3:
 {{{
 $ ffmpeg -hide_banner -help full | grep -C 10 aac_he_v2
   -nssew             <int>        E..V..... nsse weight (from INT_MIN to
 INT_MAX) (default 8)

 the bottom which are skipped (from INT_MIN to INT_MAX) (default 0)

 }}}

 With ffmpeg 4.3 and higher:

 {{{
 $ ffmpeg -hide_banner -help full | grep -C 10 aac_he_v2
 }}}

 I think they went missing after commit
 aee036cdd05499ae9dcba5b50e88f1cc02ea203e (avcodec: move aacenc profiles to
 profiles.h) which i guess intended them to show up as options under the
 aac and libfdk_aac codec but they are missing from that help also.

 With ffmpeg 4.4.0:

 Looking at the commit history for libavcodec/profiles.h it seems like the
 same thing might have happened to other codec profile options:
