#2780: v.net: make snapping to lines (-s) the default for op=connect

     Type:  enhancement             |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal                  |  Milestone:  8.0.0
Component:  Vector                  |    Version:  svn-trunk
 Keywords:  v.net network snapping  |        CPU:  Unspecified
 Platform:  Unspecified             |
------------------------------------+-------------------------
 v.net proposes a flag (-s) that allows to snap points to the network in a
 'connect' operation, instead of creating new arcs between the points and
 the network. In a majority of cases the result of using the flag is, IMHO,
 more useful than not using it.

 See #2358 for a discussion of what happens when -s is not set.

 I, therefore, propose to inverse the behaviour by making snapping to
 network the default, and using a flag (such as '-a' for 'add arcs') to
 activate the creation of connecting arcs.

 As this kind of module API change is only possible in a next major
 release, I propose to at least change the documentation to recommend the
 use of the '-s' flag.
