Would a message to the console if neither -a or -r are provided *and an error is detected* be an appropriate way to address this concern?

For example the output currently is (using a file-system without errors - I don't have a broken one handy:

$ dosfsck test.img
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
{error stuff here}
test.img: 17 files, 1159/2847 clusters
$

Would this address the issue:

$ dosfsck test.img
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
{error stuff here}
Leaving file system unchanged, use -a or -r to write changes.
test.img: 17 files, 1159/2847 clusters
