Usually I grep for "verbose" string to see if any command have such capabilities. I believe many do the same, because that is a commonly used term (And I missed the verbose flag because of that, which might be a funny to say).

So, it might be better to reword the help string of "-v" to include the word "verbose" somewhere.

Thanks

Maybe just add --verbose as an alternative spelling?
