Some of the r.in.* modules provide functionality not available through
r.in.gdal (e.g. r.in.png can preserve the original intensity
resolution and gamma).

r.grow2 essentially combines functionality from r.grow and r.buffer,
plus some additional functionality. You can use it like r.grow, but
with the ability to grow by more than one cell, or like r.buffer, but
with the option of preserving the original cells (similar to combining
r.buffer and r.patch).

If you know what r.grow and r.buffer do, the options should be mostly
self-explanatory.
