 r.profile should directly accept a lines vector map and optional selection
 query. For each line feature returned, an elevation profile is created
 that runs along all vertices of the line.

 This would be great for profiling a complex river or road without the
 intermediate step of converting vertices to ASCII before they can be used
 in r.profile. It would also aid in quickly profiling multiple transects.
