r.colors feature request (add flag to copy categories without having to run r.category separately)

[voncasec]

Often times when I use the r.colors function to copy colors from an existing rater color table, I repeat the process using the r.category function to copy the associated categories.

It would be nice to have a flag in r.colors that allows the user to copy the categories at the same time from the selected raster layer instead of having to run r.colors and r.category separately.

I suggest this is best dealt with using a wrapper script, rather than adding cat label support to r.colors and color support to r.cats, etc., ad infinitum.

maybe adding an option to copy-everything from another raster to r.support?

There is also r.colors.out in GRASS 7.

You question is a bit unclear (to me), any use case?
