 Replying to [comment:4 huhabla]:
 > > > Martin Landa currently renamed in several modules the input and
 output parameter to make clear which of them are inputs or outputs. I.e:
 elevation -> elevation_input, direction -> direction_output, but this is
 IMHO not a good idea. It is redundant information, especially if you are
 using the gui.

 Your idea about 'status' info seems to be better solution. If you prefer I
 can remove '_input/optput' from paramaters key string.

 string and establish a combination of {{{key_desc}}} and the additional
 "status" parameter in the command line. Maybe we can use a better name
 than "status" ... like "type"? Additionally we can hide the status
 parameter in case "input", "map" and "output" are used as {{{key}}}
 strings?

 OK, done in r41865, [wiki:Grass7/NewFeatures#Renamedoptions Rename
 options] updated.
