-v for error only

There needs to be a switch, if their isn't one already, where
only errors are verbose.
When I use the -v switch it not only expands the error trace like
it should but also adds all kinds of additional meaningless
info(semantic3, module list, etc). All this additional
information is generally useless and obscures the main point of
using -v which is to get a deeper error trace.
When doing a lot of compile time work and using pragma msg, it
can make things worse.
It would be nice if there was something in between the two
extremes: Only shows longer error traces and only most important
compiler verbosity. Better yet, implement a verbosity level -v1,
..., -v9 give 9 zones and one can enable any number of zones
-v158 enables the errors for zones 1 5 and 8. Could use hex for
more zones: -v14aef.
Anyways, I guess it's more of a dream feature...
