I'm honestly not sure you understand the use case.

What Randall and the essay guy are proposing is to have a list of  accepted
contacts for a certain phone profile. Say I'm at work, I only want to
recieve calls from my girlfriend and mum and maybe some call that that I
have scheduled in my calendar. All the the others can be either rejected,
or rejected and smsd or something.

I'm pretty sure I saw that on my dad's old Nokia (6303, Symbian).
