Comment:

 Current (timeline:2014-01-13T03:21) status in trunk:
  * G7:r.los uses `G_OPT_M_COORDS` (r58693)
  * G7:r.lake uses `G_OPT_M_COORDS` (r58688)
  * G7:r.viewshed uses `G_OPT_M_COORDS`

 So, in the main GUI they have button to pick coordinates pair from map
 display. I added note about G7:r.lake and G7:r.los changes to
 wiki:Grass7/NewFeatures.

 The r58692 commit for trunk enables faster usage of coordinates copied
 from map display or `d.mon wx0` (comma (`583,2715`) is used instead of
 semicolon (`583;2715`)). It might be possible to backport this trunk-only
 feature (the current change is trivial but the feature itself is not in
 GRASS 6).
