Comment(by hamish):
again, there are valid arguments on both sides, but one technical reason
not to use -m by default: it chews up CLI space if you use it like {{{
g.module input=`g.mlist rast sep=,` }}}, since often you have lots of maps
but just 4096 chars to describe them in. And when you overflow that the
error can do odd things (e.g. if the buffer ends right at the end of a map
name [~10% chance] and it then silently gives you a r.series result for
the first ~275 days of data instead of 365).
I'm sure others can think of pulling from the wrong mapset scenarios, I
guess it's a case of which alternative fails the safest^2 * user demand.
