IMHO, why? If the coder wants to use the same variable twice its bad
practice. There are many bad practices. I doubt that you will ever put
enough checks etc in to prevent bad practices without making Eu a dog. 

How about a programming "best practices" doc, where common mistakes and
the consequences and the alternatives can be shown. In the Eu context
mostly. Rob already has a start of this with his common mistakes doc.

If you are not going to be *required* to debug someone else's code,
IE its not a paid for project, leave others alone to code the way they 
want. Coding is a creative process so don't stifle it, IMHO.
