GRASS is basically layer-based GIS, in grass6 we call layers as maps,

'Map' could be used for composition of layers. And to rename all the
arguments ('map' -> 'layer').
'Layer' is currently used for vectors. Original term 'field number'
seems to me as a better choice. It would mean at the end to rename
also all 'layer' parameters to 'field'.
Yes, that would conform more with the terminology of most other GIS:es
out there. Especially the vector layer is very confusing for people who
switch to GRASS. The renaming the layer parameters might need a lot of
manual work, or maybe we can device a script to do it.
