There is already operation=remove available.. ?

fwiw there is already a "-s" switch to launch the selection GUI,

why not just like:

  g.mapsets mapset=nikos,PERMANENT op=set

?

op=set is a replacing action.

note that in many places in grass we have:

  g.mlist mapset=.

to reference the current mapset. That doesn't seem to work in
g.mapsets yet, but it would be pretty easy to add. Then you
could have in your script a generic:

  g.mapsets mapset=.,PERMANENT op=set

if you want to avoid the `eval g.gisenv` step to get the current
$MAPSET name to feed into g.mapsets's mapset= option.

ps- should failure to include PERMANENT in a new search path
produce a warning G_message()? (hushed by --quiet)
