 This is already possible when using the command-line interface.  Consider,
 e. g.:
 {{{
   bash$ (r=baz ; a=foo ; b=bar ; r.mapcalc "\"$r\" = \"$a\" + \"$b\"")
 }}}

 Note that you can rely on all the Bash facilities here, like, e. g.,
 looping constructs:
 {{{
   bash$ (for i in $(seq 1 10) ; do
              r.mapcalc "\"result${i}\" = \"baz\" * \"foo${i}\" +
 \"bar${i}\""
          done)
 }}}

 After the snippet of code is tested, it may easily be shared with the
 colleagues using either:
  * shared local filesystem;
  * shared NFS or SMB/CIFS volume;
  * shared VCS or your own public DVCS repository;
  * a mailing list, a newsgroup or a Wiki page;
  * a WWW page;
  * or a sheer variety of other means.

 IOW, all the requested functionality is, in fact, present in GRASS (except
 for the sharing part, but why should it be?)  Therefore, I'm suggesting
 '''wontfix''' for this one.
