Andrew,

Thanks for the suggestion. You can get similar information at higher
debugging levels; specifically, you can see each port's status as it is
determined (open statuses with -v or -d, other statuses with -d2 or
higher), and each probe as it is sent with --packet-trace. These features
can also be turned on during runtime by pressing 'd' (to increase
debugging) or 'p' (to turn on packet tracing) [1].

Because Nmap scans many hosts and ports in parallel, at any given time it
could be waiting on dozens, hundreds, or thousands of outstanding probes.
Printing each one would be an enormous amount of output, so it is unlikely
we will implement the exact output you suggested.

Happy scanning!
Dan
