Hmmm, difficult:
In GRASS 6.4.x, v.out.ogr also exports all features by
default, so making the suggested change would improve
consistency there.

But: in GRASS 7 the default behaviour of v.out.ogr
was reversed in this respect ...

Maybe v.out.ascii should follow the convention
of v.out.ogr in each respective GRASS version?

Cheers,

Ben
