 My patch only adds safety checks to make sure that the selected GDAL data
 type covers the range of the raster band to be exported and that the given
 null value is within the range of the selected GDAL data type. That would
 be an enhancement, not a bugfix.

 AFAICT, r.out.gdal as it is now (without the patch) can produce perfectly
 readable output, but it is possible to produce bogus output without these
 two safety checks. This is now a trade-off between code complexity and
 additional checks of user-specified options. I would opt to keep the code
 simple, also because the manual has been updated.

 In any case, it would be great if this ticket could be solved before the
 final release of 6.4.
