This would be a nice to have but its not just about XBMC adding it in, you would also need support from the scraper site tvdb.com...which would never happen.thetvdb.com admins might not add it but maybe themoviedb.org would add it and they have begun to support TV series now too. Submit as request to them first.

Dont forget XBMC is a frontend and depends on sites like TVDB and TMDB to populate the library. XBMC a Information retriever not a information creator. People so often confuse this concept and think that the Devs can simply add a functionality because it exist in another part of the program.You are correct in stating "what is today", but to get to "what could be" if you should first convince get the themoviedb.org team to add TV Show Collections / Sets to their site and database first, then once that is complete on their side it would be worth adding TV Show Collections / Sets support to XBMC Video Library Database and Skins, and finally add scraping support to the universal scraper as the last piece.
The closes you will ever get to doing what u ask is creating Tags (wiki) or creating your own NFO files to put every thing under the same name (which i doubt you want). Even TMDB TV section doesn't have Collections for TV shows, which means even if you were to scrape via TMDB for TV, it wouldn't be possible.
As that way you would not have to add full themoviedb.org TV Show scraper, instead you only have to add the TV Show Collections / Sets scraping part to existing TV Show scrapers.
Like how you can use the IMDb scraper for movies but still scrape posters and movie sets information from other sites than imdb.com
You just have to start somewhere to create more motivation for someone to want to add it to XBMC. Again my suggestion is to first submit TV Show Collections / Sets as a request to http://www.themoviedb.org
