I've check the behavior for as far back as I could run with the  
current version of Ruby (version 0.7.3 from april of last year), and  
the verbose behavior is consistent with today's behavior.

I suspect that verbose was the default in early versions of rake, and  
the options comment was never updated when that changed.

I'm leaning toward removing the "default" from the option description  
and keeping the current behavior.  Do you have any problems with that?
