> guisections with a space in them cause a tcl error (quoting? list vs
string?)
> e.g. r.watershed, r.sunmask (I've used underscores)

> I also updated parser.c to use opt->label a little more. (if opt->label
> is used, it becomes the option's description, and the opt->description
> text becomes the tooltip.
> Suggestion- opt->description is long established, don't mess with it.
> change opt->label to opt->tooltip and reverse its meaning.
> Tooltips are good.
> Suggestion 2- move G_define_module(), G_define_flag(),
G_define_option(),
> and G_define_standard_option() out of parser.c. It's a 2,500 line long
> monster.

> back to guisection:
> The hierarchical rule of thumb is if it has more than 12 subordinates,
> split it into smaller groups. But it's not a hard rule, e.g. I think
> r.in.xyz is ok in a single tab.
>
> here are the modules with more than 12 options+flags. I have removed
> the ones already mentioned above.
