I was just looking for a way to switch off the rather long "informational messages" that get sent to stdout and found this:

quiet

Type: Boolean
Default: no
Example: y/n, yes/no, t/f, true/false, 1/0

This option specifies if Tidy should output the summary of the
numbers of errors and warnings, or the welcome or informational
messages.

Using `quiet: yes` in a config file works as expected. The only problem being that it also disables the summary of warning/errors along with it, which doesn't really seem to be related at all, and is actually quite useful.

Would it be possible to make these options separate to allow enabling the summary but disabling the messages? Perhaps `quiet: yes/no` could be kept for the messages and something like `summary: yes/no` could be used for the warning/error counts?
