Dunno how relevant this is - English isn't something I'm in the habit
of using - but as far as I can see, existing code such as:

  use English;
  @MATCH = qw/ win draw lose /;
  ...

would have worked up to now, but with your patch applied the *MATCH
glob is modified later, so would destroy the array. I think you can
avoid that by changing the glob replacement in STORE to replace only
the scalar within the glob.
