I don't think this would be the best solution. The exist mechanism
combined with macro expansion can almost do the job.

Sender:       A
Forwarder:    B
Forwarded-to: C

The problem:
 A publishes an SPF record, authorizing only host A
 B uses "MAIL FROM:<user(_at_)A>"
 C tries to match host B in the SPF record of A.

How does your proposal work?

A has no knowledge of C, it doesn't even know that the messages eventually
is expected to end up at C.

B and C have no knowledge of A, and even if they would have, they cannot
modify A's SPF record.
