Indeed, it is a very good idea.

Nothing I'd dare to call trivial. If you don't mind the plug, I wrote a
model interpreter for SML (http://www.ps.uni-sb.de/hamlet) that has been
tuned for readability and modularity and ripping off binding analysis should
be easier than with any other compiler. It still won't be one hour's task to
make such a tool from it, particularly if you want to maintain the layout of
the original program. But I don't know anything simpler either.
