so, for latex the solution would be (in the latex specific initialization file):
\let\pdfmatch\match \let\match\undefined
That way you get (1) a prefix (one that will not clash with other prefixes) and (2) we keep tex prefix-clean
But then a package doesn't know, whether there is a special format
that remaps the primitives. First it must guess the name of the
primitive, before using it. And there are packages that work with
different formats (eg. plain and latex). Thus this way does not
provide a reliable solution.
