I'm waiting for someone to apply this to Haskell's Hackage. Which is potentially especially vulnerable because its package names are case sensitive, and the package installer does some limited conversion between cases, so it's easy to get in the habit of typing `cabal install ifelse` when you really intend to install http://hackage.haskell.org/package/IfElse
