How to retrieve all Variables from a Twig Template?

Question

Is it possible to retrieve all variables inside a Twig template with PHP?

Example someTemplate.twig.php:

Hello {{ name }}, 
your new email is {{ email }}

Now I want to do something like this:

$template = $twig->loadTemplate('someTemplate');
$variables = $template->getVariables();

$variables should now contain "name" and "email".

The reason I want to do this is that I am working on a CMS system where my twig templates and variables are dynamically set by my users and they also fill the variables through an API.

I want to set default values to not-set variables and therefore I need a list of all variables that exist inside the template…

This is useful I find to get all the top-level keys available in the current context:

<ol>
    {% for key, value in _context  %}
      <li>{{ key }}</li>
    {% endfor %}
</ol>
