 > The way this parameter is used in the code, it requires a formatting
 string as present in the default. However, this is not clearly documented
 (except implicitly through the default value), and IMHO shouldn't be
 required. The formatting information should be added in the code, not by
 the user as is usual custom in GRASS modules.

 Formatting strings are much more flexible but I agree that it is unusual,
 so please apply your changes.
