We can get different software development opinions also on
this implementation detail.

Further clarification of desirable software behaviour will help.
I dare to express doubts around the SmPL functionality âwhen != true x == NULLâ.

Would any more contributors like to share additional insights for the safer
application of the semantic patch language?

Is a reassignment of such local variable an usual precondition for
the discussed programming concern?
