I hope that corresponding development resources can also become more interesting.

Another view might be helpful for affected technical details.
There are further case distinctions possible according to the handling of
metavariable types.

* Are they converted to tree queries (by the Coccinelle software)?

* Is it distinguished then how many data processing would be relevant for
  leaf nodes?

Can any confusion be better avoided around variations of query trees?
