[GRASS-dev] suggestion for g.region -a

[Michael Barton]

Currently, if you use the -a flag with g.region it will align the  
region exactly to match the resolution of a map (e.g. g.region -a  
rast=myrast will set the region to exactly the resolution of myrast  
regardless of the extents) or the resolution specified in the res or  
ewres/nwres fields (e.g. g.region -a n=523 s=15 res=10 will adjust  
the extents a little to make sure the resolution is exactly 10).

However, -a is ignored if the map argument (rast=) or resolution  
arguments are blank. This means that if you want to change the  
extents and keep your current resolution, you need to specify the -a  
flag AND explicitly specify the resolution. Otherwise, the resolution  
will be adjusted slightly.

Could this be modified so that when the -a flag is used and  
resolution is NOT specified and a map is NOT specified (i.e., only  
changing extents) it aligns to the current resolution? That is,  
respect the -a flag when res/ewres/nsres= is blank and rast= is blank.
