Hmmm. "newp" sounds better than "verbose?" If you were a complete "noob," 
which one would you guess outputs cruft to the cli? How many applications 
have a "--noop" command line parameter? If an application had a "--noop" 
what would you guess it did?

Historically (at least as far back as I can remember), NO-OP is an 
assembly language construct used as a "placeholder" and does "no 
operation."

Verbose() (which existed at least as far back as 1.2 and thus works with 
any version you are likely to run across) provides more functionality and 
is more explicit. Try it -- the "next guy" will thank you.

I also fight windmills in my spare time :)
