Can you set xgboost global verbosity level at the R package?

Question

I'm looking for a way to silence xgboost warning produced c/cpp source code to R console. I was thinking of doing it by using the verbosity level on a global level as I can see there is a _global_verbosity level in the source. Searching for an exposed function to modify it yielded no results.

Am I missing an existing way to do it or it needs to be exposed?

It will be resolved with https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/pull/6414 .

Global configurations will now be propagated to workers accordingly.
