Setting custom-file _during an Emacs session_ is usually with the intent to write into it. One even usually picks a non-existent file and lets Custom create it. I believe that if you regularly want to switch customizations during an Emacs session, you _might_ be able to use "custom themes". I have never felt the need myself, so I do not know exactly how they work, but if you are interested, you could take a look. If one wants to make switching between sets of related customizations within an emacs session easier, then the best way to do that seems to be to implement features on top of the existing Custom package rather than to try to reimplement fundamental parts of Custom. _Maybe_ that is what custom themes already do.
