    So far we have 3 votes for it, 1 against it (not counting
    mine). Maybe the others can give some useful examples too (as
    this was not suggested by me but I don't think it harms us
    and I find the -vv switch quite nice, but we could use -V
    too).

    It is NOT a model for me. It was just the quickest thing I
    could find. I've seen numerous apps using switches this way
    in the past years, though I would not sit here if I could
    remember everything I've seen in my life :)
