16 To be more explicit:
17 1) "emerge foo": quiet build
18 2) "emerge foo --quiet-build=n": non-quiet build
19 3) "emerge foo -v": non-quiet build
20 4) "emerge foo -v --quiet-build=y": quiet-build
21
22 So -v sets the default for quiet build, but user can still override with
23 explicit --quiet-build=...
24
25 I think the case 1) covers the arguments in favour of having quiet build
26 by default.
