Comment(by wenzeslaus):

 It seems to me in case of `d.shade` (and perhaps few other modules) the
 options have unnecessary "map" in the name. It might be enough just to
 leave out the "map" unless it is there to distinguish from other option.

 `d.shade` can change from

 {{{
 d.shade drapemap=elevation reliefmap=slope
 }}}

 to

 {{{
 d.shade drape=elevation relief=slope
 }}}

 It seems to me that the "map" in the name does not add much information
 (that it is clear that input is some map or raster).

 However, in case of `d.shade`, I'm actually suggesting:

 {{{
 d.shade color=elevation shade=slope
 }}}

 which more describes the meaning of the input rasters for me.
