FWIW, I do not have anything about outputting such things, especially
if other devs/users thinks that's fine, or even desired too.

But, if we do more such things then a -q/--quiet flag could be nice, e.g.,
to avoid stray output in scripts using those commands.

That said, we can always add such output later after you fixed the weird
Result { null } print, let's keep the scope small for now.
