26 Green would probably work. Maybe best to change it for -p too then to
27 have -v do what is supposed to do, that is to give extra information.
28 Maybe we could also change the - in front of the turned of use flags to
29 some other color than the flag itself to make it stand out. It took me a
30 while to notice it was there.
