I like the --verbosity, --quiet, --debug and --reallyquiet options all
that much.
What about this as an alternative:

- default verbosity is 0  as described above
- verbosity can by increased with --verbose (-v) options: -v -v or -vv
would set verbosity to 2
- verbosity can be decreased with --quiet (-q) options: -q -q or -qq
would set verbosity to -2
- remove --debug, --reallyquiet and --verbosity in favour of multiple -v
or -q options?

I basically like it, except you never know where you are. That is, if
someone has their defaults set to "-q" or "-q -q", any frontend they
use needs to be able to turn warnings and progress output back on
without enabling debug output, or turn warnings back on without
enabling progress output, etc.

You could do "-q -q -q -q" to guarantee verbosity is at -2, then add the
desired number of "-v".

Hm, hadn't though to clamp the internal verbosity number like that.

This is changed now. --verbosity is gone, --reallyquiet and --debug are deprecated, and there's a new --verbose / -v .
