 Yes, this is what I call the internal API. Users are generally not
 confronted with this. In my understanding our no-API change rule is about
 module API, not internal API, as GRASS GIS is generally not used as a
 library.

 suppress overwrite check. Any idea about other modules which could have
 benefit from that? If there is only G72:v.out.ogr we could probably go for
 local modification as you suggests.

 I can't think of another module where one specific choice warrants an
 override of overwrite settings...
