Good point. I've adopted you changes but made some slight changes to the first
line:

	If `--verbose` is enabled, list both matching and non-matching
	paths (non-matching paths along with the indicator `::`). Without
	`--verbose`, list only the paths that do not match any pattern.

That is indeed equivalent and a lot easier to read. Implemented the changes in
full. Thanks!
