I don't know if there is a way that sudo can do this itself per say. 
But I know a guy....

If I needed to do something like that, I'd be tempted to create a 
wrapper script named sudo that is earlier in the PATH and / or rename 
the sudo binary.  The idea being that the wrapper script run the real 
sudo binary with the -i flag.

Maybe I should ask said guy if there are any down sides to having -i be 
used for all sudo commands.
