 I wrote 'as module option'. If you will make change to the type, you
 should make the change to the option name too and this will not work:

 {{{
 >>> gscript.run_command('g.region', 3draster='xxx')
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    gscript.run_command('g.region', 3draster='xxx')
                                           ^
 SyntaxError: invalid syntax
 }}}

 But otherwise, I like this better than 'volume', so perhaps we could find
 some workaround for Python scripts and use underscore:
 {{{
 >>> gscript.run_command('g.region', _3draster='xxx')
 }}}

 This should work, although the underscore before was marked as obsolete,
 in favor of underscore after (for python keywords like map, input). But we
 can make an exception for keywords starting with numbers.
