$ v.to.points help

  -i   Interpolate points between line vertices.
    dmax   Maximum distance between points.
           default: 100

Mention what happens if we hit dmax and still haven't hit a vertex --
will it Interpolate anyway? And if so, then when does -i come into
play/needed?  Don't tell me the answer, instead add it to the man page.

  -t   Do not create attribute table.

I wish every man page would say if they create attribute tables or
not. At least on this one we get a clue.

DESCRIPTION
   v.to.points creates points along input lines.
Parameters:
    type   Select type: point, line, boundary, centroid or area
           options: point,line,boundary,centroid,area
           default: point,line,boundary,centroid

Does e.g., "point" make sense? If so, mention the effects of adding it
etc. For all we can tell/guess, type= could be referring to the output
file even.
