my first idea was to replace it with a helper called touch_file, since
I was expecting it will be a popular operation as flag files are
common in shell scripts and that name will be second nature to anyone
porting them.
the fact that the quiet flag was created with a single '\n' in the
code just immediately above this make me go for the proposed
"solution" instead (which I verified wouldn't change behaviour as you
described in your post; I apologize for not documenting it in the
commit and wasting your time).
would something like this work better? (not to apply, and probably mangled)
