 I'd like to request a module with a suggested name of r.edit. This would
 let you specify an existing map to edit, and then specify the xy
 coordinages, cat, and optionally label of a cell to change. Preferably,
 the input parameter would accept a list of

 x y cat [label],x y cat [label],x y cat [label],...

 so that multiple cells could be changed. I realize that you can accomplish
 this with r.in.poly and r.patch and have even made a script to do it.
 However, it is a clunky work around, slower than directly changing values,
 seems to have some difficulties in maintaining labels for fp maps. This
 could be used to create a nicer raster digitizer and can be used by ABM's
 and other modeling scripts developed in Python and other OO languages.
