Josh, this isn't a rejection. Both Tom and I asked for more exploration
of the implications of doing as you suggest. Tom has been more helpful
than I was in providing some scenarios that would cause problems. It is
up to you to solve the problems, which is often possible.

OK, well, barring the context issues, what do people think of the idea?

What I was thinking was that this would be a setting on the SET ROLE statement, such as:

SET ROLE special WITH SETTINGS

... or similar; I'd need to find an existing keyword which works.

I think this bypasses a lot of the issues which Tom raises, but I'd want to think about the various permutations some more.
