I think there's no way forward that looks at all similar to what we have.
Any lexical topic variable would at least have to be selected on a
per-construct basis: you can't have "my $_" causing grep and the like to
use a lexical topic.  A spearate "grep_lexical" operator should be fine,
but if we go that route we should consider forcing the lexical topic
variable to have a name other than "$_" to avoid the confusing shadowing.
Actual "my $_" should be no more valid than "my @_".
