We have a number of tools that just quietly do nothing if we forget to pass an input. Maybe printing a status message to stderr stating something like Reading input from stdin or Reading input from path/to/file would allow users to catch that.

What's your opinion?

Most other UNIX utilities don't do that, so I think we shouldn't do that either.

#36 adds some kind of feedback, that was also the tool which had me waiting for 10 minutes before I realized my machine was idling ;)
