well, I don't think that it's a PITA, it's just a little bit more
typing, in this case `i=-` ;-) Personally I would incline to force
user to define that stdin should be read. It leads to the more
readable module interface and probably less confusing for CLI
newcomers. What's your opinion, GRASS power users?

v.edit: <input> option is required just for `tool=add` not for other
options. Moreover <input> makes sense only for `tool=create|add`.
