Comment:

 Hi,

 While I do see the merit of the convenience, I am not especially inclined
 to have that feature added. IMHO the first r.in.xyz run with -s should be
 followed by "g.region n= s= e= w= res= -a" followed by a "r.in.xyz
 method=n" and "r.univar map=n" to tune the region extent and resolution to
 something suitable before proceeding.
 aka the "Eat your vegetables" response.

 Besides failing the "do one thing well" test, I think there was some goal
 to have only the g.region module be able to change the mapset's region.
 (other modules may change it internally for the duration of execution but
 that should not affect other modules or the $MAPSET/WIND file)
