It would be very interesting if you could accumulate privileges by stacking logins. So `login a; login b` gave you both a and b privileges. `logout a` would drop a's privileges but keep b's.

Yes, and under the covers some parts of Windows NT, notably server processes, do something akin to this; although its interactive login on a windowstation system follows the Unix model of the TCB doing the login dialogue and then spawning a user process running as the logged-in user.
