Of course, handling mistakes in variable names would reduce the number of possibilities available: $foo++; echo $ofo; if ($oof > 4) break; I am now very tempted to write something that does this. I can think of a fairly easy and not-hugely-intensive implementation, too. I'd imagine the canonical form for each variable would be an anagram dictionary-style representation, with the letters arranged into alphabetical order for storage/lookup.
