It's actually not. Inside the code it's already implemented like that.
The difference between paper and layout is that paper has a 

  is-paper = ##t

setting.  

What you're really losing is the ability to set a default for the \layout 
block.

No, I think that in this case, the \context  definitions have to  go into
\settings as well, ie. in the \book wide settings.
