Just for fun (...), I've put the requested functionality into the
attached patch.

I'm only 60:40 for adding this to coreutils, as this may be considered
as feature creep bloating the code; OTOH the size of the additional
code it not so scaring, so I'll leave the decision up to the other CU
maintainers.

BTW: --quiet is not needed, because you can use "-123". ;-)

Have a nice day,
Berny
