 Replying to [comment:116 wenzeslaus]:

 > [comment:111 annakrat] and [comment:113 hcho] don't want the underscore
 for 3D raster, so this changes "`raster` and (`raster_3d` and `raster3d`)"
 just to "`raster` and `raster3d`". [comment:102 I] already said that I
 prefer `raster3d` over `raster_3d`. In my opinion such a common option
 name as one for 3D raster (common for me and name of one of the basic
 types) should not have an underscore.

 Can someone, anyone, explain what exactly is the problem with underscores?
 Why are they bad, why shouldn't we use them, etc?

 To my mind, any name that is made of more than one word should have some
 kind of separator between the words. For GRASS option names, "some kind of
 separator" equates to an underscore.
