The work around I suppose is to use dd or rsync
dd if=... of=... status=progress
rsync -avP
I too would have wanted this at one point in the past, but minimal and
quiet is often better, although it may not seem so at first.
What should be printed if when the source size is unknown, such as
/dev/zero?
