Comment(by wenzeslaus):

 Replying to [comment:2 hcho]:
 > The attached g.mremove version addresses this issue and has the same
 interface as g.mlist (including exclude=, but except for mapset=,
 separator=, and output=, which are irrelevant). Please test it. I think we
 should push this version to trunk and possibly relbr7.

 > The attached version works like:
 {{{
 g.mremove type=rast pattern="{sanderson,brady}_*"
 exclude="*_f{acc,dem},sanderson_fdir"

 g.mremove type=rast,vect pattern="brady_basin"
 }}}

 Is multiple map input still supported? I'm not sure how to remove multiple
 maps if I know their names considering that this version of `g.mremove` is
 used and `g.remove` will be removed. Now I do:

 {{{
 g.remove rast="mapone,maptwo,mapthree,mapfour,...,mapfifty"
 }}}

 The use case is a clean up function called at the end of the script which
 creates temporary maps.

 Perhaps send also a diff for convenience of other who want to check your
 suggestion quickly.
