This (documentation) should be implemented into the parser.
A way could be to check if a module used
cd ~/grass61/lib/gis > grep OUTPUT parser.c
case G_OPT_R_OUTPUT:
case G_OPT_V_OUTPUT:
If so, a first flag should be predefined with --o and explanation,
the rest follows as usual. This will give us motivation to then
update to G_OPT_R_OUTPUT and G_OPT_V_OUTPUT everywhere, such as
parm.output = G_define_standard_option(G_OPT_R_OUTPUT);
or
parm.output = G_define_standard_option(G_OPT_V_OUTPUT);
Second advantage of using these definitions is that the description
is identical and already translated to all supported languages.
Only, I don't know how to make this suggestion possible...
