I'd say that's more left-handed than dyslexic. 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.
