So what do you think about
(a) adding root=GUID as a kernel option
That's something you need to ask Linux folks, not GRUB folks. For
non-initrd usage, it sounds plausible to me that you'd have a chance of
achieving some linux-kernel-change (as long as you restrict the
code-bloat to when GPT or a similar partition-table-format-with-uuids is
enabled in the kernel-config). But it ought to work in common initrds
too, not just non-initrd mode! (Distributors, such as Debian, I think
are the people who arrange initrds currently...) So you have a few
people to chase down, and ask, and possibly follow up by sending patches
to, etc... good luck! Be ingenious in response to flames!
(b) optionally using the search command from (1) above
so that something like the following can be done:
gpt-guid has been discussed on this GRUB list quite recently -- did you
