Even if a .rb file contains nothing but a Diagram definition and nothing else, something should be printed so that to users it doesn't look like nothing happened - tell me again why I downloaded this gem?
Maybe just something like this for starters:
Diagram 'foo_bar_bar' ran for XX rounds.
Total time elapsed: XX seconds
I think that the default mode could be to show the initial state and the final state of the nodes or counters.
The user should be able to set mode: to :verbose (to show diagram state after every round), :silent (shows just diagram name and total run time) and :default, which just prints the initial and final states
Afterwards we can add more options so that users can fine-tune what gets printed.
