With 1.3, one could recreate a limited 'immigrate' that only imported
the non-dynamically-bindable Vars from the target namespace. This
wouldn't cause subtle bugs, only obvious ones if a wanted Var was
dynamic and thus didn't get imported.

The other solution to this is for Rich to add to core a facility for
actually aliasing Vars themselves.
