Comment(by annakrat):

 Yes, I am not satisfied either, I always overlook it and I go to the
 Pattern tab and use the exclude instead of the pattern option. So beside
 the change of order, we should also consider renaming the 'Pattern' tab to
 'Exclusion' perhaps? Or move exclude option to Optional? I personally
 don't use exclusion very often.

 Changing the order between type and pattern would mean that you would
 write:

 {{{
 g.remove "mymap_*" type=rast
 }}}
 instead of

 {{{
 g.remove rast pattern="mymap_*"
 }}}

 unless we do some special trick in the GUI which I would try to avoid.
 Would this change of the first parameter do any harm?
