Thanks for your interesting details.

I find the use of the element "n" (the name in square brackets) not obvious from
the Coccinelle manual so far.

But I would like to try more analysis with the data that is passed by the
metavariable type "parameter list". I have started to look a bit into it by the
function "pickle.dumps". This kind of display is not so useful for me yet.
I am missing documentation for corresponding data structures I can depend on in
further reports.

Regards,
Markus
