Verbosity flag
build currently makes all output from the backend pass through, but some of them are very cluttered by default (looking at you, setuptools). It would be nice to have a quiet mode that only outputs what backend is being used and what hooks are being called, and supress outputs from the backend if the hook call succeeds.
Show the value in build-system so the user knows what is actually being run (and can more easily debug typos), something like
Using backend: setuptools.build_meta
A -q option would be great: I build sdist and wheels as part of my quality step, and switching from setup.py to build has exploded the output with dist-building details that I don't want to see.
