 It looks weird. Example, in spearfish, add vegcover, query it and you get
 output like:

 {{{
 East: 590751.108647
 North: 4914649.113082
 Map: vegcover
 Mapset: PERMANENT
 Type: Centroid
 Line: 10505
 Layer: 1
 Category: 5
 Driver: dbf
 Database: /home/grassdata/spearfish60/PERMANENT/dbf/
 Table: vegcover
 Key column: cat
 cat : 5
 label : mixed forest
 }}}

 "Line: 10505" looks strange given that we are querying a centroid. I
 realized this "Line" is a feature ID actually, as cen be checked with
 'd.vect vegcover display=shape,topo'. Wouldn't it be better if v.what
 printed "ID" instead of "Line"?
