flac default options no longer printed

I was going to start storing the flac version number and options
in an ENCODER meta field and with v1.1.2 if you did:
    flac foo.flac 2>&1 | grep options
you could see the defaults options, in 1.2.1 it doesn't print the options (even
if you give it a valid flac file name)

i.e. options: -P 4096 -b 4608 -m -l 8 -q 0 -r 3,3

here was what i was going to do:

metaflac --set-tag=ENCODER="$(flac --version; flac foo.flac 2>&1 |
grep options)"

i don't know if there is any real big point in saving this info, was
just something I thought of doing (bored middle-aged techno-geek i
guess ;-)
