actually pretty good since d.to.rast and d.out.file are saying the same as
r.to.vect or r.out.gdal (convert raster to vector, convert display to
raster, ...).

If you think that only commands which are doing the actual drawing should
start with `d`, please be more specific. What about `d.mon` or
`d.what.rast`? Or what would be the right letter to start with?
