I feel like every possible solution to this involves UX sinning, so some
breakage of UX guidelines is unavoidable.

My take is that, leaving it on will confuse more users than will make use of
this, _but_ I am not advocating for it to be switched off. I expect that users
who expect this functionality are more likely to be in a focused "flow" state
when they invoke this action, and any form of interruption, or it not doing
what they expect would be very frustrating, and that users who are not
expecting this and accidentally invoking it will be more likely to go "whoops,
won't do that again" and not get too sidetracked. 

I think the best solution is to have it on by default - don't distract the
power user, but be very obvious to what just happened, if a user does it for
the first time in a while, send a standard notification to say "You just did
this, click here to turn off, or here to never remind me again". It should
disappear after a few seconds to not get in the way, but remain in the
notification history panel so if someone saw it, but didn't want to actually
read it at the time, they know where to look. 

While, I acknowledge doing this for everything would get very obnoxious very
fast, I justify it as it's a very niche & unaffordable feature, that I think
the majority of users _would_ prefer it off, so an offer to turn it off at the
point of use will be regarded as a thoughtful UX detail, and is the least
intrusive to the users that expect it to work, other than how it works today.
