Maybe.

I constructed small scripts for the semantic patch language according to
the presented code refactoring a while ago.

I am curious if such a transformation approach can eventually be integrated
for the coccicheck tool.

If the appropriate function call would be directly used, extra optimisation efforts can be avoided
by the compiler.
