For my 2c, I still prefer "v.digit - $mapname".

@$mapset is redundant, you can only edit maps in the current mapset.
Or if you really want the mapset in there, use "in mapset $mapset".

mmph. it protects uncoordinated typists such as myself from small typos
in a map name from becoming larger problems/wasted time.

ps- [-n flag] I made a mistake some time ago calling a module flag
"superseded" (replaced) when it was better termed "depreciated"
(removed). For a lot of cases now "depreciated" is a better word for
what's happening but "superseded" is what is now used.
