Is there a way to enable non-interactive scope behaviors in REPL?

Is there an option or directive I can add in my code to say either “use non-interactive scope behaviors all the time”?

In IJulia notebooks, you can set IJulia.SOFTSCOPE[] = false to use the non-interactive scoping rules. (This is documented.)

In the REPL, you can do

empty!(Base.active_repl_backend.ast_transforms)

(which is undocumented: document REPL `ast_transforms` · Issue #37047 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub) to use the non-interactive scoping rules.
