Comment(by glynn):

 Replying to [ticket:2475 wenzeslaus]:

 > What is the right behavior? It seems that there is a difference between
 element and type, is this true? What is appropriate for `g.findfile`? What
 would be the value for `file` key if `g.findfile` would support
 `type=rast` etc. instead of `element=cell|fcell|dcell`? What about 3D
 rasters?

 The argument to element= should be the name of an actual element (e.g.
 cell), not the alias (e.g. rast).

 But -l probably shouldn't be listing the aliases. I'm not sure the -l flag
 should even exist.
