You could even implement that with a metaphor that is used to address a similar problem in the real world.
People will say something "I'm wearing my Engineers hat now" to make it clear that they are communicating from a particular viewpoint.
Hats, and indeed Masks(where you see only the headgear and not the identity behind it), would be a great addition to Google+.
