I don't want to take away an option that has the effect of completely
quiet output. The only thing I want is that as long as there aren't
very good reasons, I don't want option a to influcence the behaviour
of option b, in this instance, I don't like -w to influence whether
packages are decoded, packet counts shown etc. As I didn't want to
change the behaviour of existing flags, I chose -Q. Maybe something
like -q[scdv] s: silent, c: count, d:decode v:verbose decode would
make more sense. OK, remove that maybe :-)

I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know
what proactive means.
