Please suggest where... (if I/user don't know that I have to use
v.extract for this
in the first place since I want to *delete*, it needs to be documented
elsewhere).

Well, since we have
r.mfilter + r.mfilter.fp or
r.colors + r.colors.stddev
r.grow   + r.grow.distance
r.rescale + r.rescale.eq
r.surf.idw + r.surf.idw2
r.what     + r.what.color
...

Luckily the v.* family looks better...

With vector objects removal I don't see the problem (while I agree in general).
