I still like my suggestion (in the bug report above) of:

would not print anything, but

would print. That seems reasonably intuitive to me.
I'm often annoyed by foo <- readFile printing the entire file contents

remember what the flag is called. I have to look it up every time or
suffer pages of file content on my console.
