Seems reasonable. Minor point: I'd be forever having to check whether
it's -vV, -Vv, or -VV - particularly as I often find myself using
"python -v", and groaning at the spew of spam as interactive Python
starts up in verbose mode. Can all three be added, maybe? Then -Vv and
-vV are "verbose version", and -VV is "version, and more so" (in the
same way that -qq is more quiet than q, or -gg is more debuggy than
-g).
