We use https://github.com/atward/aws-profile/blob/master/aws-profil... to do pretty much the same thing, although without the $PS1 hacking. Our rule is that a user's default profile should always be the "control account" (on which they have permission to do nothing except STS and AssumeRole), and that they need to use this wrapper and explicitly specify a profile for all "real" API commands. This also works nicely with MFA.

Having this built into TF would be nice, but there are enough tools out there that don't support AWS role-jumping that I suspect we'll end up using that wrapper for a long time.
