(I think PyChecker has come up before, but...) If you like, you could make  
a text-file index of all the variable names allowed in your program, and  
parse all the python code to ensure that only those variable names are  
used.  I believe this would
a) solve your problem
b) require less than a morning's work
c) not force everyone else to have to deal with variable declarations that  
will be only an annoyance 95% percent of the time.

Is there a specific reason you want this added to the *language* itself?

Thanks
Caleb
