 matched & not mixing metaphors. Verbally (and so logically to the user) I
 would think that "Others" would more match something like "Important". So
 as long as there is "Req'd" I'd stick with "Optional", at least it
 matches..

 most of modules don't have just two tabs (or groups of options) -
 `Required` and `Optional`. Usually optional options are collected to
 logical groups, e.g. for d.vect into `Selection`, `Colors`, `Lines`,
 `Symbols`, `Labels`. The rest of options goes to `Optional`. That's reason
 why I suggested to rename `Optional` to `Others` (like other optional
 options).
