*Sigh* No. set -v shows lines as they are being READ by the shell.
set -x shows commands as they are being EXECUTED.
set -v is almost never useful. It's especially unlikely to be useful
in any script that uses functions or loops, as it only shows the function
or the loop being READ, not being EXECUTED.
