The Command class supports per-command customization of the verbose
and dry_run options using a rather hairy __getattr__() trick. I was
wondering if this feature is actually used by anyone. I can't find
any examples of its use in the distutils package itself.
I ask because I was looking at the previously discussed overhaul of
how distutils produces output. I was hoping to remove the
self.verbose attribute from the several classes that have it. The
simplest way to remove it would disable this feature. Would that be a
problem?
