There is one option: Statements that reverse the behaviour of "using". I
mean, we already have to manually use statements to prevent multiple
processing of header files (include guards) as far as the standard is
concerned, so being able to undo a using statement at the end of a file
might be one easier short term option.

Its a bit gross and hacky, but it just might work, especially on existing
projects where modules may be too big a leap for the short term.
