No, the other way round. When you use (not select) an object-creating tool, you update its remembered style to the current style. Then, when you select that tool, you set the current style to the tool's remembered style. It would work just the same as the existing "one style per tool" setting, but Inkscape changes the one style when you use the tool, and the setting is stored with the document metadata rather than in global prefs.
You're saying that when I use a tool, e.g. draw a rect, the Rect tool style is updated to the current (global) style. But then you say that when I select the Rect tool, the global style is updated to the Rect tool style. I don't see how, with these provisions, a tool's style can ever be different from the global style.
