What might be easier to implement would be an enhanced version of
the "soundex" transformation (see Text::Soundex module).
The El337 version of soundex would know about the various
grapical character to sounds mappings and return results that
would be appropriate.
The only difficulty I can see would be dealing with the ambiguity
factor. (EG is '14all' -> "one-for-all" or "Laall" ).
