I would have tried PHP-comments, but that could fool the parser if it
decides to open an typoscript-comment, which can't be closed the same line!

something like:
    $rSql = $GLOBALS["TYPO3_DB"]->exec_SELECTquery(
                                                   "title",
                                                   "pages",
                                                   "uid=" . $iPageUid
                               /* */              ); 
    )

or some other characters which are neutral to the php:
(this time in my preferred formatting)
    $rSql = $GLOBALS["TYPO3_DB"]->exec_SELECTquery("title"
                                                  ,"pages"
                                                  ,"uid=" . $iPageUid
                                                  .''); 
    )

Propably your way of expanding syntax is best. 
But so you have to patch every version until your fix is implemented in
core.
