Hmm, that looks pretty verbose.  I'm inclined to think that the extra
verbosity should be enabled only with an extra option.  I suspect that
in most cases, novices will be intimidated by the extra output (even
more than they are already intimidated :-), and experts won't need it.

My suspicion could be wrong, but if so I'd like to know why I'm wrong.
