#3023: Change default behavior of d.title to draw instead of output text
-------------------------+-------------------------
 Reporter:  wenzeslaus   |      Owner:  grass-dev@…
     Type:  defect       |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal       |  Milestone:  8.0.0
Component:  Default      |    Version:  unspecified
 Keywords:               |        CPU:  Unspecified
 Platform:  Unspecified  |
-------------------------+-------------------------
 Currently this outputs text:

 {{{
 d.title elevation
 }}}

 {{{
 .C black
 .S 4.000000
 LOCATION: nc_spm_08_grass7
 elevation in carto
 South-West Wake county: Elevation NED 10m
 North:  228500.00  South:  215000.00
 West:   630000.00  East:   645000.00
 Resolution: n-s:   10.00  e-w:   10.00
 }}}

 To actually display something one need to do:

 {{{
 d.title elevation -d
 }}}

 This is unexpected behavior for a display module and `-d` behavior should
 be the default one.

 I suggest to switch the default for 8.0. We can introduce in 7.x a new
 flag to turn on the text (it would do nothing special in 7.x) to be
 forward compatible with 8.0. Alternatively, we can also drop the text
 behavior completely but I can imagine that somebody is (mis)using
 ''d.title'' for just the text (as alternatively formatted ''r.info'').
