I saw a Perl module once that caught any exceptions in your running code,
and decided for itself what you *really* meant.  So if you mis-typed a
variable name, it took a guess at the variable you might have intended to
use.

That only worked when the code was actually running, so not quite the same.
It was pretty funny though.. I bet you could knock up a Ruby version in a
day.

PS I couldn't find it after 90 seconds of searching on CPAN.  Anyone else
remember this?
