### Description

```console
$ ipfs add a b
added QmdytmR4wULMd3SLo6ePF4s3WcRHWcpnJZ7bHhoj3QB13v a
added QmSFxnK675wQ9Kc1uqWKyJUaNxvSc2BP5DbXCD3x93oq61 b
$ ipfs add -Q a b
QmSFxnK675wQ9Kc1uqWKyJUaNxvSc2BP5DbXCD3x93oq61
```
As you can see the second case only returns `b`'s CID.
I expect it to error early (**before actually adding things**, I guess something like this: `if quieter && len(paths) > 1 && !wrapping { /*error*/ }` would be enoug) (or silently enabling `-w` but I preffer explicit things).
