I tested this just today and I am not convinced at all of this choice.
It looks dangerous to me.

I would prefer to see type as single option and pattern as multi option to
remain as close as possible to what it used to be, allowing for e.g.

g.remove vect pattern=map1,map2

It rarely happens that you have maps with identical name but different type
which you want to remove at the same time but rather that you have
different map names of the same type you want to remove...
At the same time pattern allows to select something more complicated. But
likely I don't want to invent a regex for deleting three maps out of many.
