current situation is

r.info
  -g   Print raster array information only
  -e   Print extended metadata information only

v.info
  -g   Print region info in shell script style
  -e   Print extended metadata info in shell script style

which forces to open discussion again. I would still incline to use
`-g` for shell script output as used in others modules. I have counted
more than 45 modules in trunk which use `-g` for shell script style
output. I don't see any reason why `r.info` or `v.info` should be
exceptions.
