The opt->options part of the parser only allows

But it should be possible to parse the answer taking into account shorter versions. See, for example, how type_opt is parsed on lines 478ff in display/d.vect/main.c.


sure there's code in d.vect to handle it, but the parser won't actually
let you give anything but the full words listed in the ->options line.


G64> d.vect fields type=bound --q

ERROR: value <bound> out of range for parameter <type>
       Legal range: point,line,boundary,centroid,area,face


Ok, I get it. Any reason this is so ? Would it be possible / desirable to change the parser to allow short versions of parameter names ? Maybe have this as an option in the definition, i.e. parameter->short=YES ?
