Please add verbose options to program touch(1):

-v, --verbose

Similarly than what is found in cp(1), mv(1). Seing what files are being touched e.g. from scripts would be helpful:

touch ${optionverbose:+--verbose}

To just reslve the file pattern, I'd suggest

    echo touch <file pattern>

Have a nice day, Berny
