NetBSD/FreeBSD/DragonFly/OSX's cp(1) with "-v" print file names without
the single quotes, which might indeed be more appealing to the eye:
$ touch a b; mkdir c
$ cp -v a b c
a -> c/a
b -> c/b

A more compendious option description for bin/cp/cp.1 would be:
.It Fl v
Display the source and destination of each copied file.
The above 2 suggestions make sense to the proposed mv(1) patch too,
modulo s/copied/moved/.
Kind regards,
