confint.glm prints a message "Waiting for profiling to be done..."

I could have sworn that there used to be an option (quiet = TRUE?) to turn this message off without resorting to suppressMessages() (finer/more specific control is always preferable ...) -- but on the basis of looking back at archived versions of MASS, and at this Stack Overflow post:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43847705/how-do-i-silence-confint-in-r

 I think I was hallucinating.

Do people think this would be a reasonable minor feature request/would a patch suggestion be considered? What would the best name for the argument be? (scan() has "quiet")

pos <- tail(search(), 1)  ## base package
tt <- lapply(c(lsf.str(pos = pos)), \(x) names(formals(x))) |> unlist() |> table()
> tt[["quiet"]]
[1] 4
> tt[["silent"]]
[1] 1
> tt[["verbose"]]
[1] 9
