What prove is referring to in -1 is suppressing its own messages about test
failure, not TAP comments.
What you want is a .5 (didn't we figure out in BASIC that you don't closely
space your numeric sequences?) which is "show TAP comments".
The description for verbose should really be "show the raw TAP stream".
