well, setting $VERBOSE will also tamper with the display of warnings
issued by ruby, so it depends if that is included in what you want to
achieve
with --verbose.

In general, you could probably tie --debug to $DEBUG since to me that's
a developer's switch.

--verbose on the other hand sounds to me like it's intended for end users,
so ruby warnings to them will probably only be confusing (e.g. the
insecure directory warning)

Greetz!
