Yes, yes, bikeshed, I know, bbbbbbbut .....

.... I point out that the behaviour of 'tar' is exactly what Karl
mentioned:

        tar t as a accessor is never totally silent but
                        it does have 'v' option to make it loud.

        tar [cx] are totally silent except when given the
                        'v'

Also that many commands have the one of the behaviours (a) without
'-v' they are totally silent or (b) with '-q' they are totally
silent - except - as Karl pointed out - when there are errors.
