I clearly understand that it's that way. However my question is about 
usability - if i do `asterisk -rx "show anything"` - i would really want only 
that output, and wouldn't want asterisk to transfer anything else trough 
remote socket. What i'm asking is about changing current behaviour. Thinking 
more ahead - it could be that every remote console have separate verbosity 
level, and get's only log messages for that level.

If those changes are significant, it would be fine if this could be 
temporarily fixed by sending some flag to main thread, indicating that this 
command needs only result ("-rx" used).
