That wouldn't really work, alas.  The mapping would be:

switch-to-buffer-in-dedicated-window t => weakly dedicated

switch-to-buffer-in-dedicated-window non-t => strongly dedicated

Weakly dedicating a window when switch-to-buffer-in-dedicated-window is t 
is not really useful.  And the default value of 
switch-to-buffer-in-dedicated-window is nil, so the default would be 
strongly dedicated anyway.
