This would be nice, if someone wanted to try and come up with the code
I'd consider including it.  The current protection is a very simple
process.

It would also conflict with the format data is stored in, which is
itself a directive.

There already is!  Take a look at the unprotect feature.  You can use
it to permit directives to be stored in specified text variables.

Or alternately, use the (:keep {$var}:) directive to restore the
directives that were disabled when you load the variable into the
page.  These don't have to just be used in textarea boxes.
