Comment:

 This has been proposed before; see #12682, #7134, #4371. I'm sympathetic
 to the underlying problem, but it isn't a simple as 'just bump the
 verbosity'.

 Firstly, there is the problem is determining when the debug message will
 be printed (and how often it will be printed). Fixtures are loaded at the
 start of every test method; the volume of "fixture loaded" messages would
 very rapidly swamp the useful information about the test run.

 There is also an implementation issue of how to discover an appropriate
 level of verbosity; an individual test case doesn't have exposure to the
 verbosity at which it is being run.

 Closing wontfix because there isn't a clear action to implement. If anyone
 cares to make a practical suggestion -- including a patch -- feel free to
 reopen.
