Comment (by captaintrunky):

 I'm ready to work with both parts. It feels like the first part is
 somewhat simpler and straightforward, so I can start with it.
 As for the second part, I like the renaming with '-v' prefix.
 Implementation wise, I think that we can add a new constructor for
 DynFlag:
 {{{#!haskell
   data DynFlags = DynFlags {
     ...
   } |
   VerbocityFlag {
     ...
   }
 }}}
 As it's painful change, I think that it should be marked as deprecated for
 quite a lot of time, maybe until the end of 2018?
