99% I also want to preserve grid geometry and avoid grid shift. A simple
example is SRTM. Import an SRTM tile with 3 arcsec resolution, then set the
region to the SRTM tile. Now set the region with g.region -a res=00:00:03
and compare the extents. They will be shifted by half a pixel and no longer
match the SRTM tile.

I am opting for 2) by default GRASS should try to do the least-damaging
thing
