Comment(by cmbarton):

 I've been dealing with end of semester and traveling. Wow! A lot of words
 spilled over a small suggestion to simplify parsing in code and in
 commands. FWIW, the underscore makes it a *little* easier to parse and
 potentially shorten (if that is desirable) the term for GRASS's unique
 3D/voxel format. It also makes it a little easier to quickly differentiate
 the 2D raster things (raster and raster.x) from the 3D raster things
 (raster_3D and raster_3D.x).  I don't find an underscore that much trouble
 to type, except on my iPad where I can't run GRASS anyway.

 That said, it's not a big deal to me either way. Since one is very
 minimally more difficult to type than the other (1 character), I'd suggest
 whichever form makes programming easier. Maybe a simple vote is needed to
 move on. I'm delighted to go along with the majority so we release the
 next beta
