Yes, r.out.gdal should act like other raster modules and work from the
current region. But this goes back to r.out.gdal should be a real module
instead of a wrapper script. Then we could do away with the gdal-plugin
dependancy for generic raster output, which I think is a bit of an
unnecessary burden for regular users to have to worry about for expected
functionality.
