it strips it off but at the same time populates another variable with
the value.

actually the function I am thinking of changes the map name variable
(stripping off the @mapset part) and returns the name of the mapset
(or NULL if not found). So information is not lost, that's just the
way it works in most raster modules too...


e.g. r.out.ascii/main.c:
.....
    name = parm.map->answer;
    mapset = G_find_cell2(name, "");

    if (!mapset)
        G_fatal_error(_("Raster map <%s> not found"), name);

    /* open raster map */
    fd = G_open_cell_old(name, mapset);
    if (fd < 0)
        G_fatal_error(_("Unable to open raster map <%s>"), name);

    map_type = G_get_raster_map_type(fd);
.....



here G_find_cell2() strips off the @mapset and returns the (confirmed)
mapset name as it's result.
