That's not my question.
Can a USER shut off broadcasting of his location

hardware switch with an indicator light (and,
preferably, a switch that makes a nice audio and
tactile clunk like a power plant circuit breaker)
or with the help of my handy-dandy application?
Your question has already been answered. Here it is again:
The user cannot do this from an application because applications do
not have the ability to do this. Only the system settings app (part of
the OS) is authorized to make this change.
If not, it's a design flaw, and will have to
be corrected.
Good luck on the "will have to be" part, but do file a bug report
requesting API access. For now, it's not possible.
Such a feature should definitely require the OS to prompt the user
so apps don't have the ability to turn this off or (more importantly)
on silently / without permission. Otherwise it's a security risk on
several levels.
