[GRASS5] Wish: wildcards in command line

Dear developers,

a "problem" I regularly face (and my students...) is that you
can't use wildcards in GRASS/cmd line.

Suppose you want to patch 20 adjacent images or DEMs, you
have to specify all the names on command line. It would
be great to have:

r.patch in="dem*" out=mybigdem

Or:
g.remove rast="*"

I am dreaming of such a feature since years... :-)
Do you consider this is feasible (Obviously the parser would
need to be modified).

Just an idea...

 Markus
