Re: bug#34020: [PATCH 0/2] Re-purpose '--verbosity' to something useful

[ng0]

Would you be open for a patch which adds BSD familiar -v behavior?
In other words, multiple v increase the verbosity level, like -vv is more
verbose than -v. I'll have to check the actual changes first, haven't had
access to something which runs plain Guix in a while.
