Comment (by bgamari):

 Yes, I understand. You are correct that `:load` does not accept the `-v`
 flag. However, the user can use `:set -v` to achieve the end suggested in
 the error message.

 As I said above, it would be nice if the error message would specifically
 recommend that the user run `:set -v` instead of merely suggesting that
 they "Use -v". Do feel free to offer a patch.
