 Working with multispectral satellite data in tiff where bands are not just
 red, green, blue, but, for example (for Worldview 2):


 {{{
 1:Coastal
 2:Blue
 3:Green
 4:Yellow
 5:Red
 6:Red Edge
 7:NIR1
 8:NIR2
 }}}

 it is a bit annoying that r.in.gdal automatically calls the first three
 bands .red, .green and .blue.  Even in satellite imagery which has only
 three bands, this does not necessarily mean that they are rgb. Calling
 them .red, .green and .blue can leave to confusion for the inexperienced
 user.

 I would suggest to remove that functionality and leave it up to the user
 to decide what the bands represent.
