Currently there is no such functionality in the backend. In the frontend
the TSFE is always there and the page record is loaded automatically. In
the backend things are a bit different.

However, it would be possible to introduce a behaviour that is only
valid for backend disposal - therefore we have two new classes
t3lib_matchCondition_frontend and t3lib_machtCondition_backend.

Just a quick idea:
[globalVar = PAGE:layout = 3]
[globalVar = CURRENT:id = 13]

Where CURRENT refers to a current scenario/setting/whatever that was
used for a request. The PAGE object would ensure that the page record is
loaded if an id is given...

But there are more stuff we could think about.

In general everyone is allowed to hand in patches to the core list and
participate in voting or commenting a pending RFC. But IMO discussing
this specific issue here in the dev list is better...
