Comment(by martinl):

 Replying to [comment:4 hamish]:
 > perhaps wrongly applied, but G_myname() is using GNAME_MAX for the max
 length (256 chars in gis.h) of the description. So besides having the
 newlines removed it should be cut at char 255-1 for the null
 terminator(?). (or better: can python access the #defined values in the C
 include files directly as swig could?)

 question: why need to be description of the location only one-line text
 and moreover limited to the given number of chars. I guess that this
 limitation broken in GRASS7.
