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.
