What is the difference between G_OPT_R_MAP and G_OPT_R_INPUT? Which and
why should I prefer for my script(s)?
Is there a step-by-step run-through of all options for composing header
definitions?

Yes, I was skimming through it before.

But that table doesn't really answer the question,
does it? For both "G_OPT_R_INPUT" and "G_OPT_R_MAP"
it lists "old input raster map". AFAIU, "G_OPT_R_MAP"
is for modules that use only one input raster map.
In those cases, the corresponding input option should
be named "map=".

And what is the (semantic) purpose of G_OPT_R_MAPS (MAPS vs MAP) then?

"G_OPT_R_INPUT" would then be for
modules that have either several raster map inputs or
raster and vector maps as inputs.

And, likewise, what about G_OPT_R_INPUTS?

The corresponding input options would then be called "raster="
and "vector=" in case of exactly one raster and one vector
input map. Further special cases are covered by
"G_OPT_R_BASE", "G_OPT_R_ELEV", etc.: They all exist
for semantical purposes. All of them stand for raster
input maps.
