Well, problem is that it’s plain not true. If you pass --quiet --verbose you
will get a lot of output, albeit less than if not using --quiet. Consistency
with other tools is obviously good, but only when it’s correct IMO.
Indeed, it is not a good design. It should be one option --verbose that
increases the verbosity according to a number or an enum value. --verbose=0
means "quiet". However, that ship has sailed.
