I don't see a difference between `-b off' and `-b quiet.off', as the
former has always worked for me to turn off the beep. The patch below
should make `-b quiet.off' a synonym to `-b off'. Do you like it?
As for `-b visual', it works as it is; the screen flashes, for instance,
when I hit backspace at the beginning of line, or when I run printf '\007' .
