Interesting,

Where do you thing the parameter would have to be set : general option 
(option panel), per connection, or per query ?
About the danger of not having all the data in the visible layer, I 
think the dynamic datastore management is already dangerous.
Running a process against a layer will make you feel you 're running it 
against the whole postgis table, but instead, you will run it against 
the visible part of the table only.
That said, red light would be a plus for the use case you are describing.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. Business sense. IT sense. Common sense.
