 Okay, that's essentially the code which "term" uses. But you can simplify
 it a bit, as there's no need to split $cmd into $cmd_exe and $args; this
 should work just as well:

 {{{
 eval [list exec -- $env(GISBASE)/etc/grass-xterm-wrapper -name xterm-grass
 -e $env(GISBASE)/etc/grass-run.sh] $cmd &
 }}}

 After all, the command name is just the first argument to grass-run.sh.

 > it splits this up by spaces:
 {{{
 v.db.select roads where={label ~ 'highway'}
 }}}

 Yep; a brace-delimited string must have the braces at the beginning and
 end; you can't put them in the middle like with quotes in bash.
