I can only fix bugs which are reported.

The only intentional changes from the original r.mapcalc are that the
type inference is more conservative, and that floating-point values
are no longer acceptable where a boolean value is expected.

Any other difference is probably a bug, and will be fixed if
reported.

The current version is a complete re-write.
