 A series of vector modules should have cats and where parameters allowing
 the user to apply the operation only on selected features. Having this
 options avoids having to create many intermediate maps. And for a more
 homogeneous user experience it would be nice to have them in all modules,
 unless irrelevant.

 Here's a tentative list of those modules that don't have them today in
 grass7 and that could potentially profit of having them:

 {{{

 * v.select: both for ainput and binput
 * v.to.rast
 * v.to.rast3
 * v.to.3d
 * v.distance: both for from and to
 * v.net.alloc: it might be interesting to have a where option to
 complement ccats for selecting the nodes
 * v.net.iso: it might be interesting to have a where option to complement
 ccats for selecting the nodes
 * v.overlay: both for ainput and binput
 * v.delaunay
 * v.voronoi
 * v.perturb
 * v.class: has where, but not cats
 * v.report
 * v.univar: has where, but not cats
 * v.qcount
 * v.normal
 * v.out.dxf
 * v.out.gps: has where, but not cats
 * v.out.ogr
 * v.out.pov
 * v.out.svg
 * v.out.vtk
 * v.parallel
 * v.sample
 * v.split
 * v.surf.bspline
 * v.surf.idw
 * v.surf.rst: has where, but not cats
 * v.vol.rst: has where, but not cats
 * v.drape: has where, but not cats
 * v.extrude
 * v.kcv
 * v. kernel
 * v.neighbors
 }}}
