In my opinion it should be enabled by default: if it has to be enabled
explicitly, it will not help novice users who don't know about the option.
Mads suggested a "--verbose"/"-v" option to switch from terse (default) to
verbose output. Maybe this would control more than just repeated messages
though, in that case it would be useful to have a specific flag as well.

Both convention (C) and refactor (R) messages could be disabled by default,
I think.
