Currently it says:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix build --help | grep -e -verbo
-v, --verbosity=3DLEVEL use the given verbosity LEVEL
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
We could add =E2=80=9Can integer between 0 and 2=E2=80=9D, but this was left
non-explicit in case we eventually extend it to -7 to +42.
Maybe there=E2=80=99s a limit on what we can do to help users? :-)
