#2093: --interface-description option broken for some commands

The commands r.mapcalc and r3.mapcalc are missing the --interface
description option in Grass 6.4.3. Trying produces this:

syntax error, unexpected '-', expecting NAME or STRING
Parse error

g.parser --interface-description is also broken, with a different error:
Unable to open script file: No such file or directory

In Grass 7.0.svn, r.mapcalc and r3.mapcalc work properly, but g.parser
produces the same error. I haven't tried 6.4.4, so I don't know about
that.

  * milestone: => 6.4.4

Comment:

Modules `r.mapcalc` and `r3.mapcalc` are the exceptions in GRASS 6. They
don't use the parser. Options are automatically treated as an expression.
In GRASS 7 they use the parser as other commands.

Similarly to `g.parser`, it's the only exception in GRASS 7 which do not
use parser from obvious reasons.

Closing as wontfix.
