[GRASS-dev] v.db.addcol and v.db.addtable

Is it possible to use the same option description in the following cases:
v.db.addcol: Name and type of the new column(s) (types depend on database backend, but all support VARCHAR, INT, DOUBLE PRECISION/REAL and DATE)
v.db.addtable: Name and type of the new column(s) (types depend on database backend, but all support VARCHAR(), INT, DOUBLE and DATE)
Which one would be the right?

Yes they can be the same. I'd say that the second is better as it
indicates that varchar needs something additional (a number as the max
length of strings).
