This flag confused the hell out of me.  It's not at all obvious that it *reduces*
output, and that it overrides all the other --print-xxx options.  I see no reason
to provide this.  I suspect most users will want curated console information, or
none at all.

If we keep this, the runner should explicitly disallow --print-status with any
other --print-xxx option.
