 Replying to [comment:1 hamish]:

 needed for output maps.

 should be quietly ignored. hopefully it could be done at the library
 level. if it can't be handled at the lib level I'd be inclined to ignore
 it rather than add clutter to all raster modules.

 FWIW, Vect_open_new() does that job for vectors, it removes any @mapset
 from fully qualified names. Should Rast_open_new() behave similarly? Then
 it would be handled on library level, raster modules need not be touched.
 And opening new raster maps and new vector maps would be more consistent.
