 From a mathematical perspective (is this user hat or dev hat?), the
 current behaviour is correct.

 The user has to decide on a resolution anyway when setting the import
 region, and in order to get nice clean values, alignment to the resolution
 is recommended, i.e. have exactly 1 instead of e.g. 0.98990209. In scan
 mode, the module could print a recommended resolution guestimated from the
 extends and number of points (works only for evenly spaced points), which
 can optionally be rounded to integer values.

 Since the region settings including resolution and alignment, optionally
 to the geometry of an existing raster map, are such a core concept of
 GRASS raster processing, it may not be asked too much to manually set the
 region including resolution first before importing, and I am inclined to
 close the ticket as invalid.
