Give me a use case that requires that, and is sufficiently interesting
to justify even a marginal decrease in the reliability of the log
process.

Frankly, I do not believe that database users should have anything to do
with the log rotation process.  Do we have a TODO for allowing users to
force switching to a new WAL file segment?

IMHO, no.
