Some cases that could be improved:

In all cases, this would be more efficient as:

func(...)
{
 <...
* (x cmp y) ?@p x : y
 ...>
}

There is an optimization that causes this to be just a search through the
nodes of the control-flow graph, rather than following the actual control
flow from the beginning of the function to the end.

All of the org cases should be coccilib.org, not coccilib.report.
