Do you have more examples than lint -> build?

This is intentional in this case, because the above output would be
surprising in general. You are right, though, if verbose is set in the
caller we should send it to the callee. We don't currently have any
mechanism for this, I don't think, but I'll look (at the lowest level
like this in lint, we no longer necessarily know if we are verbose or
not).
