There already are two ways to promote a server out of recovery. One is creating the trigger file. The other is "pg_ctl promote". (it uses a trigger file called $PGDATA/promote internally, but that's invisible to the user).
Right, I was thinking of the trigger file to put a server *into* replication. That is, recovery.conf.
