Configuration management doesn't have to be so bad. I have an example of
how to do Rasterio-style configuration contexts, including reset, using
GDAL's Python bindings at


https://rasterio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/configuration.html#gdal-example

I'm not a voter, but would be unhappy if we added this kind of option to
GDAL's paths. The syntax is already quite complex.

The open options approach is reasonable, if not easy to do.
