Comment (by mmezzarobba):

 Replying to [comment:5 novoselt]:
 > Note that verbosity is set to -1 and it DOES make a difference of
 suppressing annoying warnings. Perhaps it should be mentioned in this
 functions as well.

 Yes, apparently several sage modules call `get_verbose()` directly and
 interpret negative values. But at a quick glance the meaning of negative
 verbosity levels does not look very consistent. Sure, it would be nice to
 make it consistent and document it (and perhaps rewrite the whole
 verbosity system to make it more powerful), but that's more work than the
 minimal fix in this ticket and I don't have time for that right now.
 Please feel free to update the docstring yourself if you have a clear idea
 of what it should say, repurpose this ticket for clarifying the meaning of
 verbosity levels outside 0..2, or set it to wontfix depending what you
 think is appropriate!
