 `r.clip` does the same as G7:v.clip - clips input raster/vector map based
 on current region or vector map if defined.

 Right, I forgot `v.clip`. However, the sentence "clips input raster/vector
 map based on current region or vector map if defined" means that the the
 clip action alters directly the input map. I think the original author
 correctly used the wording "Extracts portion...".
