Comment (by cmbarton):

 I've been mostly out of the loop--demo-ing GRASS 7 at UCL--but have
 followed a bit on this. Ideally, for this and some other functions that
 we've had to recreate in the GUI, it would be better to have a GRASS
 module. I suppose I agree with the m.* for the name argument (though I
 don't have especially strong feelings about it). It will take some
 rewriting to integrate such functions now, but ultimately worthwhile.

 I don't remember what all d.measure did, however. The current GUI
 implementation gives: segment length, segment bearing, total multisegment
 length, and has a nice (and easily parsable) output format. Does d.measure
 do that? For area, is it only calculated for closed polygons or for open
 ones too?
