Hi Andreas,

GRASS is also hitting the r.out.png issue. I don't know if there is a
solution for it besides renaming to something like r.out.image
(multi-format + similar rename for all similar tools) and renaming with
underscores to r_out_png (so changing the convention completely). I did
name the function with underscores in a new Python API (grass.tools), so
there is that as a precedence.

Since you mentioned the one problematic tool I have in my mind as well,
have you encountered other issues like that or r.out.png is the one? If it
is isolated just to r.out.png, then finding a safer name for the tool is
probably the cheapest route we can take.
