haha... no it's just for the inevitable moment where I don't need to be seen from behind but a bit of more consistent brightness on a climb when I'm riding slowly (which, if it's night time, will be all of them).

what kind of wiring have you got? There are loads of latching switches on ebay that I imagine would work with lots of systems, but I don't know of SON coax cable would make that harder

I'd question if they'd be any efficiency benefit to turning off the rear. The power draw is so small for the rear light compared to front.
The safety benefit of the rear being on seems to outweigh the additional equipment and failure mode of having a switch purely for the rear.
You could always unplug a spade if looking to be rear facing incognito.
