Comment (by knarf):

 I don't think printing information at the end of a run is a good place for
 advertisement. Also, Carpet already depends on LoopControl. Everyone using
 Carpet has to use LoopControl anyway.

 The boilerplate you mentioned is usually output at the start of a
 simulation. There, this is not much of a problem, as especially when you
 are developing/debugging the end of a run is much more interesting. In
 this case, LoopControl's output pushes interesting output up, out of the
 screen and makes 'diffs' of output a bit more difficult to handle.

 I would like to have the default changed - it shouldn't be printed by
 default. While of course this information _is_ interesting, it is probably
 not so for most people, who are are more concerned with the actual results
 of a run. Since the current option 'verbose' produces a lot more than this
 final output, and only producing this final output (but not every
 iteration) would be a useful option, I suggest to do this via parameter,
 defaulting to 'no output'.
