It would be great if the futurize command had a -q/--quiet option to silence output when writing files.

Research direction
The issue proposes adding a q/ quiet option to the futurize command to suppress output when writing files. The implementation would involve modifying the command line argument parsing, likely using argparse, to add the flag and conditionally suppress print statements or logging during file writing. Key files to examine include the futurize CLI entry point (e.g., futurize/main.py or bin/futurize) and any modules handling file output. No existing pull requests are linked, so the contributor can start fresh.
