to be precise, Bug#18337 underlines (you can read discussion on the
bug page) --short-form must print the row events.

   *  `--short-form', `-s'

     Display only the statements contained in the log, without any
     extra information.

If we follow these lines the new -v should not print anything if
conbined with --short-form.

Imagining bug#18337 is fixed, we still need to make sure that the
combination of --short-form and -v indeed does not print any extra.
