see attached. Should be compatible with 5.3 and the latest 5.7.
(I don't remember if 'g.gisenv set="MAPSET=foo"' worked with early 5.0)

sure. still useful for 5.3 now I guess.
!It doesn't check to see if you are the owner of the new mapset.

Having two modules named g.mapset and g.mapsets is confusing..
g.mapset could as well be called g.location or g.gisdbase for what it
does. I don't have a better name though.

Is it ok to swap the order of the G_define_option()s in the code so it
is ordered:   g.mapset mapset=a location=b gisdbase=c  ?

That way you don't need to type mapset= every time, as it will be the
most common change. Just 'g.mapset foo'.

Flag for not erasing displays?  I'll often have 20 mapsets within a
location specifying individual study sites, each with common map names.
I then jump between them & d.redraw to quickly have a look at what is
next door.
