Hello,
The metavariables of the semantic patch variables provide a programming
interface for various information from source code.
They were designed in the way so far that a single primary content is handled.
The contents can refer also to more detailed data structures then.
The system default is to return all structure members together.
I imagine that advanced source code analysis will trigger the need to work
only with parts on concrete demand.
Thus I propose to delegate the selection of desired data sources to
corresponding functions (or methods).
How do you think about software extensions in such a direction?

Regards,
Markus
