As you go on to say, some topology is good.

I think one of the best parts of v.digit is quickly spotting open
boundaries via colored node points.

I am not sure if you can have a light-topology option?

v.in.region + v.select + v.out.ascii format=standard + parse for GUI..?
Can't pan or zoom out, but fast.

+ crash safe :)
