This chould be enabled for vector and raster files.
Examples:
- Import all landcover vector files from a folder
- Import all SRTM ASC/TIFF files from a folder
a nice option would be if one could run ogr2ogr/v.patch or
gdal_merge/r.patch while importing to generate a mosaik of all the tiles
within the folder with the same step.

Comment:
An option may be to implement wildcard support in r.in.gdal|v.in.ogr.
Possibly a GDAL/OGR function could be called to merge before handing
the data block over to GRASS (within the modules).
Could be stored in the Addons wiki.
