Comment (by glynn):

 Replying to [ticket:234 msieczka]:
 > Autogenerated v.type wxGUI still suffers from an old bug described on
 [1]. The v.type.sh workaround will not work on Windows without msys. Would
 a Python replacement do?

 Yes (assuming that you have python).

 Alternatively, we could hack v.type to omit the various ->options fields
 if argv[1] is --ui, --tcltk or --interface-description.

 > Or is it possible to fix the problem instead of a workaround?

 Modifying the way that the GUI handles the case where opt->multiple is
 true and opt->options is set is possible, but it would be inconvenient for
 the other modules which don't care about order (i.e. where the value is a
 set instead of a list).

 To support both sets and lists, we would need to extend the semantics of
 the Option structure, extend the parser, and extend both GUIs.
