I think controls for this should be in the curve's properties, not in the material panel. There are too many other objects materials are assigned to, that do not need that function to warrant a placement in the material settings.

"Assign" buttons are already in the material settings.
I suggest to improve them.
It would not be very different to change from a face select mode to a vertex select mode.
Spline extrusion front back options could be icons.

I am just saying that Solution #1 does not take in count what blender can already do.
If you put this settings in curve properties, Front or Back would have same color for all splines of curve object.
It would probably break the actual ability to write a text object with different colors by letters.
