At one time I had the idea of putting a "common options" section into the
commands help, rather than repeating options such as --quiet for a bunch of
commands. However, I never figured out exactly how that should work, so it's
good to add the --quiet doc as needed.
I thought about that too, but the twist is, the --quiet option may have
different effects on different commands, so I guess it has to stay like
that.
One comment: I think we could scrap the hitherto undocumented quiet
option
for "labels". I don't see any point in it now that we have the option of
writing the labels to file.
Fine by me!
