One half of what you propose - to implicitly treat null-stderr=YES as null-stderr=YES-except-if-chatter-is-explicitly-requested is fine with me (i.e. I don't really need an explicit and ugly-named option for it, I just need the underlying behavior). The other half - that in order to get backend chatter I need to turn general chatter "volume" to the max, is... hmmm.

How about an option --debug-stderr or --debug-backend which enables the backend chatter but not other debugging info? - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
