I realize that this is just a wishlist level item but I wanted to
register my objection to the additional code to implement progress
bars to cp, mv, rm, etc. Those utilities are already too bloated.

Also the functionality of progress bars exists in rsync. If someone
wants a tool with everything including the kitchen sink then using
rsync works well and already exists.

  rsync --progress -av SOURCE DESTINATION
