Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 Could something along these lines be added to each affected file?


 {{{#!js
 // First line
 window.commonL10n = window.commonL10n || {};

 // As needed.
 commonL10n.someString = __( 'Some string' );
 commonL10n.anotherString = __( 'Another string' );
 }}}

 A back-compat break would remain for any plugins that have filtered the
 strings upon registration in the script loader, but I suspect that is an
 edge case.

 I am also very slightly concerned such an approach makes the changes in
 the earlier commits a little redundant as the `commonL10n` object remains
 in memory, it simply results in requiring the `wp-i18n` script as a
 dependency for each of the files.
