You would have to examine the source code outside of the PREFIX section. Many programming languages have preprocessing directives like #define which would allow you to do something like this:

#define COOPERATE DEFECT

Where the compiler would replace instances of "COOPERATE" with "DEFECT". I can think of few other ways to game this without touching the code between the PREFIX tags.
