There will probably be an emulation of it written in support of the
translator, but we don't have to make it terribly easy to get at, and
we can even require them to say:
use DEPRECATED_PERL_5_FEATURES <__p5_resetmatch__ __p5_resetvars__>;
up at the top. Of course it's no pain for the translator to insert
something like that when it needs to.
