Comment(by nikosa):

 Replying to [comment:6 pvanbosgeo]:
 > One reason a user would not want to match the region extent to the
 queried vector map could be that he/she is only interested in an area that
 partly overlaps with the vector map, with polygons falling only partly
 within the region. This still works with our suggestion, but only if the
 region is set back to the initial one after the mask is created I guess.

 If a user is interested in an area that partly overlaps with the vector
 map, he doesn't really want to

 {{{
 r.mask vector=SomeVector
 }}}

 He rather needs to manually find the area of interest that will become a
 MASK.  This sounds as an exception, rather than a general rule. What do
 you think?

 Thanks
