Hi Jari,
My preference is to avoid adding the --verbose option
to programs like touch. Here is some explanation for
why I have seriously considered taking the relatively
drastic step of removing that option from the ch???
commands that currently accept it (chmod, chown,
chgrp):

The case for touch is not quite the same, but the above
shows where my bias originates.
