+The <em>snap</em> threshold defines the maximal distance from one to another
+vertex in map units (for latitude-longitude locations in degree). If there
+is no other vertex within <em>snap</em> distance, no snapping will be done.
+Note that a too large value can severely damage area topology, beyond repair.

+<i>Post-processing:</i> Snapped boundaries may need to be cleaned with
+<em>v.clean</em>, using its tools <em>break,rmdupl,rmsa</em>. For details,
+refer to the <em>v.clean</em> manual page.
