Currently from the CLI in gronsole you can run any script in CLI mode (i.e.,
typing all arguments from the CLI). In the wxgrass command line you can do
this and  you can also just type the name of the GRASS script/command and
get the autogenerated dialog launched, just like you would from the
terminal. 

AFAICT, you can do this for any bash or python script (or whatever the shell
can do something with).
