Jachym,

Actually it is not really an *added* functionality, but a modification
to an *already-existing* functionality in GRASS 6. Martin's g.region -g
output is different from the g.region -g output before, isn't it?

I guess this should not happen *during* GRASS 6. Should be left for
GRASS 7.

Sure Martin's approach is right! I much appreciate and enjoy his work
on sanitising GRASS code. Only that *this particular change* might
brake programs depending on g.region output in GRASS 6 so far. That's
all I'm concerned with. That's my last word regarding this case. Please
do whatever you think is right now.

Best,
Maciek
