If it is possible, I'd say it's worth implementing at least a warning sooner rather than later - the practice seems questionable at best, and any progress towards outlawing it would help in work on optimising builtins.
FWIW, this practice is very handy for unit tests. For example, I often
shadow builtins like file for my tests with a mock placed from the
outside into the global namespace.
