This issue was solved by a 3rd party extension available on Cydia for Jailbroken iPhones a long time ago called SwipeSelection. Apple decided to copy the feature but implement it in a way (hold the space bar and scroll) that makes it usable thus useless. The time it takes to hold the spacebar to enable Apple's swipe thing makes it unpractical, the tweak was way better.
