If we do add that, an idea of what a possible GRASS 7 ~/.grass/ dir might

grass.bashrc (and grass.cshrc etc) should be reserved for commands
which have to be sourced by the interactive shell. We should really
rename the grassrc6 file; it isn't an "rc" (run commands) file.
grass.save would be more appropriate.
I agree with this. I understand the issues you bring up about the current
.grassrc6 file. It's sort of on the verge of becoming a combined rc and
preference file. So it would be a good idea to separate these functions. But
a preferences file is still a good idea, however it is implemented.
