      By default, when you run the shell with a URI, it will echo the URI to the output. This URI will sometimes include passwords. It can be suppressed by running the shell with `--quiet`, but this will also surpress the server's startup warnings. This output could be redacted.

      Example:

      % ./mongo --quiet mongodb://admin:admin@localhost
MongoDB Enterprise > ^C
% ./mongo mongodb://admin:admin@localhost
