Prerequisite for #6. Comments in v.flexure may be used as a guide.

Do this for 1D line loads as well.
Update input_help once this is done!

Going to be more difficult for lat/lon compatibility with GRASS GIS: distances must be calculated along great circle paths. Perhaps have a lat/lon flag and a great circle calculator included.

so lat/lon flag under numerical2D

and it will set off that for the distance calculations in the SAS_NG function

Can produce a deflection field for an arbitrary set of points, and this can include a grid. Think it's an even better solution that takes advantage of the analytical method!
