For the situation where you're at the engine compartment, it seems we'd like something that you can easily hit, but preferably is normal "on" - we don't want a switch failure to shut the engine off.  Would it be possible to have a momentary contact switch that would ground some part of the circuit that wouldn't otherwise hurt anything?  In combination with a remote starter switch you'd be able to start and stop the engine from the rear.  Not a common situation, but for a combination you're dialing in that could be really handy.  Maybe a switch tapped into the minus side of the coil that goes to ground?  I don't know enough about this electricity stuff to be sure that's a good answer :-)
