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.
