This is already implemented
I didn't know - thanks! I just tested it and think I have found a glitch which can be replicated by doing this:
Create the default Cube.
Create a Sketch (I used the X-Y Plane at the default Z = 0) and make a zig-zag pattern larger than the footprint of the Cube, something like this:

Now try the right-to-left Box Select on a portion of the Cube without intersecting the Sketch geometry and the all the Sketch geometry is selected. I'm guessing right-to-left selection uses something like a bounding box instead of using the geometry itself?
