pickaxe filter can be useful in hooks to enforce policy

Actually, I find it a bit strange to leave the output silent,
if --quiet is turned off. For all the user sees, it is still quiet
and exit-coded, just slow. Suggest either restore the
output format when turning the option off or not turning
it off at all (if possible. Is it?)
