When somebody wants to compute perimeter/lengths/bbox of vector features, it's difficult to find the tool because v.to.db's name doesn't convey that. Plus for many data science workflows printing it and putting in dataframe is easier than dealing with attribute table. The v.to.db's interface is centered around the table, e.g. column is required even when just printing. Here is a quick summary of the tool:
It includes functions resolving number of cores, this is something that will need to go into a library I think, but I kept it here for now.
