Currently, it's a non-modifiable configuration variable.  I can add a flag
for it.

I think that it would be difficult to do anything about this.  The string
passes through python and gets modified, and then gets dumped back into
the code in the end.  At that point, Coccinelle just sees it as one atomic
unit.  Does the issue come up a lot?
