You can already do most of this with SET/RESET ROLE:
regression=# create user tgl;
CREATE ROLE
regression=# create user admin createrole;
CREATE ROLE
regression=# grant admin to tgl;
GRANT ROLE
regression=# \c - tgl
You are now connected as new user "tgl".
regression=> create user boo;
ERROR: permission denied to create role
regression=> set role admin;
SET
regression=> create user boo;
CREATE ROLE
regression=> reset role;
RESET
regression=> create user bar;
ERROR: permission denied to create role
regression=>
