Would it be possible to make the switch to verbose mode be “retroactive” in the sense that it not only shows all messages from the moment of the failure on — it also shows all the messages that lead up to the failure?

This would require buffering up all messages, just in case there is a failure and they need to be displayed, but IIUC this is being done anyway.

Just a thought,
