I absolutely hate this convention. Not only is there often very little documentation about what exactly gets added in for each verbosity level, making me guess randomly and then maybe binary search to find what I need with minimal noise, its basically impossible for me to differentiate repeated characters beyond 4 without using a cursor to step though them. I don't have any opposition to fine-grained log levels, but geez, just make it `-v [VERBOSITY (default 1)]` or something sane like that.
