ogrinfo lacks -style=[YES/NO]

Feature description

We can control all the other properties, just not styles yet:

$ ogrinfo -q -geom=NO -fields=NO v.kmz vermilion_co_il

Layer name: vermilion_co_il
OGRFeature(vermilion_co_il):1
  Style = @tyle/style.kml#ourPolygonStyle

Additional context

https://gdal.org/user/ogr_feature_style.html#style-is-a-property-of-feature-object says

in GDAL it is more consistent to see the style as a property, just the same way the geometry of a feature is also a property.

So that must mean that there ought to be a ogrinfo -style option, just like there is -geom.

It seems to be true that "Style" is reported always if it exists in the source data and GDAL knows something about how to interpret it. It is not possible to disable that. The opposite is possible. If Style is found it can be selected as a special field ORG_STYLES

ogrinfo -sql "select OGR_STYLE from test" test.jml
OGRFeature(style):0
  OGR_STYLE (String) = BRUSH(fc:#0000BD)
  Style = BRUSH(fc:#0000BD)

As documented, only a handful of drivers support styles

The following GDAL vector drivers have varying levels of support for feature styles: DWG (libopencad), DWG (Teigha), DXF, KML (libkml), MapInfo, MicroStation DGN v7 and DGN v8, OpenJUMP JML and PDF.

I would say that the wish is not of the highest priority.
