I suggest to take another look at presented implementation details.
I did it, even digging the grammar and ALL samples and didn't find anything similar to handle format strings with multiple parameters as mentioned.

I limited my suggestion intentionally.

Such a function call is using more parameters. Would you get into
the mood then to specify additional metavariables in SmPL script variants?
I can't because the calls around the code have different uses with different variants.

I hope that more useful data processing for format strings will become
supported by the semantic patch language.
Yesterday an information was given that another functionality is also
work in progress.
Interesting.

This observation can be fine.
How often do you fiddle with source code transformations around
format strings?
Well, I've used it before but for me, it is the first "complex" case that I am working on. even I still digging trying to figure out how to do that but I still not sure if the Coccelinne is capable to do that yes or no.

Such an impression can occur. - But I would like to point further
possibilities out for desired knowledge distribution.
* Would you like to contact any more related developers?
* How do you think about to improve your own expertise
(around the discussed free software) in any ways?
