Re: -V, --verbose, as opposite of -s, --silent, --quiet

BTW we use a slightly different and, I think, slightly improved version of what's shown there (see below). Improvements are: 1. Either the verbose or the concise output is shown, vs both in verbose mode as the original does. 2. It uses $(info ...) instead of echo which saves a fork/exec per
