 The region that's currently named !``default!'' is, actually, never used
 ''by default'' -- it's the !``current!'' region that is.

 It seems that the !``default!'' region is accessed only in the following
 cases:

  * it's ''always'' used when creating a mapset;

  * it's used with {{{g.region}}} when explicitly requested by {{{-d}}}.

 Doesn't it therefore make sense to retitle !``default region!'' to, say,
 !``initial region!'' in GRASS 7?
