If we don't want people using it we should document as such.
It is documented.

Source code is not documentation. It it surprising to hear that,
especially on this list.
This is a bit puzzling. If -q is secret somehow, let's take it out of
the synopsis. If it's real, it should be in the synopsis and
description.
-q No-op, does nil, nothing, nada. Emphatically not for
compatibility with GNU bc, but coincidentally allows scripts
from icky other platforms where -q does something to run without error.
May occasionally print "gravy-sucking pig-dog" or contain traces
of soy, nuts, eggs, titanium, and riboflavin, all part of a
really interesting alibi.
