gollark: I have a "great" way to do this which I think takes O(n²) space-time-beeite.
gollark: Perhaps it is also possible to construct some sort of regex/deterministic finite automaton to match things matching anagramatically.
gollark: Bogothings run in O(n!) time mostly. So just make `giveup`'s maximum be `math.factorial(len(remove_whitespace(s)))`.
gollark: Hmm, your pseudocode is almost valid python.
gollark: You COULD limit it to valid dictionary words, which could be used for purposes.
