typing ;chucknorris will do output a syntax error report, fail.

Yeah, there's not really a good way to execute this without doing a whole load of hacky stuff.
You can't load overlapping bricks, destroying bricks that are floating or connected to a floating body will either not work or cause a chain kill unless you delete them directly.

Or you do it really hacky and write a custom loading function

Yes, that could solve your problem. It wouldn't be too hard to do either. Just a really terrible thing to do.
If you're going to rewrite any part of the saving/loading system, I'd rewrite the entire thing from the ground up, to be honest.
Not that the current system is bad, it's amazing. It'd just make for a better project. A more modder-friendly system, perhaps.
I've actually done this, but I abandoned it before it was entirely finished. Very buggy.
