Echo command too verbose

[utzoo!decvax!harpo!eagle!mhtsa!alice!npoiv!npois!houxm!u1100a!sdo]

Whenever I use the echo command it prints all its arguments.
I already know what the arguments are since I just typed them there.
I think there should be a "-q" option to tell echo to be quiet.
The offending line looks something like "putchar(*cp);" where cp
is looping through the arguments.  Is this a bug or a feature?
