It should make initial use easier and by that cover a large majority of
use cases, but why program a whole new wizard interface which at the end
replicates the GUI module.

which enables to call this module in the loop, nothing else.
Call it what you want. I actually like the idea of calling it a wizard as
it simplifies a series of things, such as selecting layers in a file or in
a database, that demand a more advanced knowledge to do directly in the
modules.
In any case, it is a simplified interface for importing data via
r.in.gdal/v.in.ogr. And most people use it not only for looping but for
any import, as this is what they get when they chose file import from the
menus.
