That's not been decided yet.  There has been far too little response
to the proposal.

I used to have 'set quiet' in my .nanorc so that I wouldn't get a barrage
of warnings when checking how an older version of nano worked in some
situation.  But I've had it commented out now for a while and cope with
the barrage, so I guess it's fine to remove it.  Patch is coming up.

But this poses the question: Pico recognizes -q nowadays.  Should nano
ignore it for "compatibility"?  (We are not compatible anyway: -W does
something else, all of Pico's color options don't work for nano, and
even -d does not work as in Pico nowadays.)
