How about requiring calling the evil ones explicitly?  Have a custom
import() sub that requires a separate file that would contain those
aliases.  That should do it, right?

And if someone tries to use $MATCH after use English, it could still be
tied, and it could return undef and warn that $MATCH must be explicitly
exported.
