The feature now  ( at patch v10) lets you break off with Ctrl-C 
anywhere.  I like it now much more.

The main thing I still dislike somewhat about the patch is the verbose 
output. To be honest I would prefer to just remove /all/ the interactive 
output.

I would vote to just make it remain silent if there is no error.   (and 
if there is an error, issue a message and exit)

thanks,
