Verbose flag: I don't know. I chose not to, thinking that unexpected behavior is bad; i.e., the use requests one behavior (unknowingly) and gets another. It's unimportant to me... if we think -V should be forced with -Tpdml, then fine.
I see "-V" as something that matters only for output that can show summaries or detail, such as printable text output; it looks as if PDML is, by definition, detail, so I'd see "-T pdml" as generating the same output regardless of whether "-V" is specified or not.
(I could see somebody asking, when they see
tethereal: Using -Tpdml requires -V
why, if Tethereal knows that you need "-V", it doesn't just turn it on for you rather than telling you that you have to specify it.)
