I'm looking at something like this in theory, when the blog owner
provides full post in feed by default:

http://somesite.com/?feed=rss2&type=summary
http://somesite.com/?feed=rss2&type=full

Does such a thing exist natively in WordPress?

Looking at the latest version,

===
<?php if (get_settings('rss_use_excerpt')) : ?>
<description><![CDATA[<?php the_excerpt_rss() ?>]]></description>
<?php else : ?>
<description><![CDATA[<?php the_excerpt_rss() ?>]]></description>
<?php if ( strlen( $post->post_content ) > 0 ) : ?>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<?php the_content('', 0, '') ?>]]></content:encoded>
<?php else : ?>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<?php the_excerpt_rss() ?>]]></content:encoded>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

You  could change the file and save it as rss-excerpt.php. As far as I can
tell,  you could not (trivially) pass it an argument to bubble through  to
the  conditional statements. It requires changing the interfaces. It would
be  nice, I agree. I have about 5 separate files for feeds, which leads to
fragmentations  and  leaks.  Choice is good nonetheless. 1/3 of  the  sub-
scribers prefer full text and the rest settle for a one-line excerpt.

Well, inside function `get_settings` the return value is filtered:

	return apply_filters('option_' . $setting, $option);

So the `rss_use_excerpt` value could easily be modified by a plugin.
