[Yt-dev] Verbosity Increase

[Cameron Hummels]

A little late, but +1.  As you note, I think we need to be careful we're
not pushing *too* much information to the user (as then it all looks
like noise), and also make sure these lookups don't slow down the
process significantly.  It would be a shame to lose the speed of yt for
this additional behavior.
