r.resample.raw?

To put it (yet) another way, the existing r.resample produces the same
result as any module which acts as an "identity" operation for some
combination of parameters, e.g. "r.neighbors method=average size=1",
"r.series method=average" when applied to a single input map,
"r.mapcalc foo = bar", etc.
