That's really cool, because this says it's 12:

(And I am pretty sure I saw 13 on some other page .. what a mess)

Anyhow, I have stopped working on the diff for v.in.ascii for now as my
impression was that most people on this list would prefer to see the
table-only-creation option added to another module instead.

Cheers,
