Comment (by martinl):

 Replying to [comment:2 hamish]:
 > input can be piped from stdin, which is open-ended. So a progress bar
 isn't appropriate. r.in.xyz does some checks to see what kind of input is
 involved before checking filesize and rewinding, then using G_clicker()
 instead of G_percent(), but really for v.in.ascii IMO I don't think it's
 worth the trouble.

 It's seems to me that at least in points mode progress message info can be
 printed. The file is scanned before the points are imported, see r32398
 (not backported to devbr6).
