Please don't do this.  Just use the word current.  It doesn't have to be a
metavariable.  You will though get a warning about it.  To eliminate the
warning, you can say symbol current;

> identifier task_state =~ "^TASK_";

Are there a lot of options?  You can also enumerate them in {}, ie

identifier task_state = {TASK_BLAH, TASK_BLAHBLAH};

You want to look at the definitions of called functions?  Coccinelle
doesn't really support that, but there are hackish ways to add that.  How
many function calls would you expect have to be unrolled?

I think that you can make a disjunction on a function parameter

fn(...,
(
- T1 x1
+ T2 x2
|
- T3 x3
+ T4 x4
)
, ...) { ... }
