There are always other words, like "import".

function f()
    import x
    local y
    a = 4 -- illegal
end

Of course that doesn't match "local" quite so nicely and has other
connotations such as "import *" from the enclosing block.

Or maybe 

function f()
    global {}
    local y
    a = 4 -- illegal
end

would be clear?
