About the -> stuff, maybe just output "sh -x" style output instead that
could be better digested if copy pasted back to the shell.

$ cp -v m n
‘m’ -> ‘n’
$ set -x
$ cp m p
+ cp m p

(Hmmm... better I suppose, but sort of looks like I have some tty echoing
enabled and am not so confident the command completed.)
