Hi Michael -

This is a great idea, but does this seem backwards to you?

I may be alone, but I think of "-v" as "verbose", and many programs
output *more* when given the -v flag.

Does it make sense to print less by default and print more if called with -v?
Or, perhaps, print less when given another flag, like "-q" for "quiet"?

It's just a thought, and I'm OK if we leave it as you have suggested.

Thanks!
-Andy
