I was only illustrating the idea I had about how I would fix it, shouldn't be much hassle to add the features you're talking about.

That's problem I've just solved by using a custom shell script that wraps around bash?

Not according to the manpage. I wonder why they haven't built in a feature like this, seems pretty trivial to me... I still like my solution though, because it allows you to select which users adhere to /etc/bashrc and which not. For example, for root it may have unexpected consequences due to what's being read from /etc/bashrc.
