.. indeed a nice feature! But would it be nice to have not only:

r.profile --script
#!/usr/bin/env python
############################################################################
#
# MODULE:       r.profile_wrapper
...

import sys
import grass.script as grass
def main():
    # put code here
    return 0

if __name__ == "__main__":
    options, flags = grass.parser()
    sys.exit(main())

... this part of the script but for the truly lazy also the respective
grass.run_command() call included?

Something like

coords = options['coordinates']
grass.run_command('r.profile',
               input = input_map,
               output = output_file,
               profile = coords)

or, perhaps better, the code snippet compliant with pyGRASS
http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Python/pygrass
?

(maybe an answer to http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2226 )
