Semi-verbose output option

[ericonr]

Hi! This is an awesome module, I was about to look into programmatically generating db files with alias definitions, which would have to be kept up to date, when I remembered I had come across your repo :)

Since I have a lot of aliases, reAddAlias output is quite verbose, but simply disabling verbose output for retools feels like it's lacking feedback. Would you be interested in an output option for reAddAlias which simply outputs the number of aliases that it created due to the command? I could implement it, but figured I should ask before putting time into it.

(btw, since you're using c++11 regexes and not introducing new complicated dependencies, do you think there's a chance this module could ever become official? are you interested in pursuing that?)

Hey, thanks! Feel free to open a PR, I'd be happy to merge it.

Yeah, I don't know what you mean by official :) I can transfer this into epics-modules, I don't know who is taking care of it these days. I'd have to check if there would be interest in merging this into base, but it would depend on them moving to C++11, I am not sure if that ended up happening.

Great :)

Yeah, I guess I meant either transferring to the epics-modules org or merging to base. Most CI runs seem to be using gcc-9+, which seems positive. But the CentOS 7 one is using gcc-c++.x86_64 0:4.8.5-44.el7, and non-experimental C++11 support came out with GCC 5.1.
