 The current version of G7:v.in.lidar in trunk (7.1) has several parameters
 related to storing return, class and color for lidar points.

 {{{
          id_layer   Layer number to store generated point ID as category
      return_layer   Layer number to store return number as category
   n_returns_layer   Layer number to store number of returns as category
       class_layer   Layer number to store class number as category
         rgb_layer   Layer number where RBG colors is stored as category
         red_layer   Layer number where red color is stored as category
       green_layer   Layer number where red color is stored as category
        blue_layer   Layer number where blue color is stored as category
 }}}

 However, this is too many parameters. It seems that it might be more
 advantageous to store all these in predefined layers which would be also
 expected by some other modules. User would use a flag or more flags to
 enable this behavior.

 Interface will be decided here, so it is blocker for the next release
 (preferable its branching).
