"max" would work for the verbose mode, since that corresponds to all
available fields. It's quite unclear what "min" is though; the fields
included by "terse" are more of a judgment call (wasn't there someone
asking for only the SQLSTATE?). off/full would have the same problem.

Non-native speakers would probably have to consult the man page to
remember the correct spelling of VERBOSITY anyway :-(
