While looking to integrate this I discovered that the current default was a desired feature requested by Ingo. So I guess we need to come up with a combination of options which give us both. Currently we have --[no-]summary meaning suppress/add a summary, and --quiet meaning suppress output but which does not suppress the summary. We have a few options: 1) allow doubling of -q to make the summary subject to -q, 2) allow doubling of --summary to mean "override -q", --summary becoming subject to -q, 3) add a new option --force-summary which always produces a summary, --summary becoming subject to -q, and 4) add a new option --summary-on-fail which is subject to -q. I feel the last of these is the most obvious option, and carries no modification to current semantics.
