What is the expected behavior?

When I am working on package, I often publish different ones under different accounts, in any given moment I may be building a package for internal usage, but abstract parts of it out into a package for general usage under a different name. Currently my company runs under one name, I have my own name, and another account for scoped public packages. Context switching between all these accounts using npm is cumbersome, and I have made a wrapper script around it to help, but I'd like to see this ability native in Yarn.

So add support for a global --as flag, that allows me to basically yarn login for many accounts, say yarn login --as joshmanders and then the credentials are saved for that alias, and I can do yarn login --as mycompany and then when I publish I can do yarn publish --access public --as mycompany but keep default account to joshmanders

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

Node v6.8.1
Yarn v0.15.1
macOS v10.12 (16A323)

The scale of this feature request means that it needs to go through the proper RFC process.
