Nah, that's a bit too hard to figure out. We should mention it more explicit
I think.

I'll make the options -v, --trace and --trace-ascii all output a little
warning if they are used to override an earlier used verbose/trace option.
What do you think about that? Like this:

$ curl -v --trace-ascii dump curl.haxx.se -o /dev/null
Warning: --trace-ascii overrides an earlier trace/verbose option
[cut]

$ curl --trace-ascii dump -v curl.haxx.se -o /dev/null
Warning: -v/--verbose overrides an earlier trace/verbose option
[cut]
