A --verbose option would be very handy

Description
I saw --debug used in another thread and used it myself to see why a DNS verification is failing for me.
That also answered some other questions about how tracking (and simple ID check) work, but in a very geeky form.
I think it would be very handy to have a keybase --verbose option that would provide a human-oriented expansion of the verification process that goes on in presenting the known identifier associations of a keybase user. Error messages could also be more useful. (E.g., in a DNS proof check, I saw what the retrieved TXT records were, so I could tell where those were from and what was not working. I had no idea what Error No.201 was without that.)

Research direction
Start by tracing the keybase client’s existing --debug handling and the DNS proof-check path described in the issue. Define which verification details and error context a human-oriented --verbose mode should expose, including the retrieved TXT records and Error No.201, then confirm the behavior across the verification process.
