This script for the semantic patch language is using the at sign within string
literals for Python code.

It is nice when this character seems to work also with the current software.
How does its usage fit to the following information in the SmPL manual?

Furthermore, @ should not be used in this code.
Spatch scans the script code for the next @ and considers that to be the
beginning of the next rule, even if @ occurs within e.g., a comment.
