IMHO, torsocks could use a --quiet option.

Interactively, torsocks errors and warnings regularly interfere with ncurses rendering, which create annoying display issues in applications like Mutt.

In scripts, torsocks errors and warnings make STDERR more verbose. Filtering Torsocks STDERR also takes away the STDERR of the actual applications I torify. I might be interested in applications STDERR but not torsocks STDERR. There's probably a way to achieve that, but torsocks --quiet would be really simple.

Since torsocks fails closed, I would feel comfortable to use torsocks in a --quiet mode in these cases.
