Would you like to add any suggestion for a possible patch message?

+virtual report, org, context, patch

Is such a SmPL code variant more succinct?


…

I suggest to reconsider the selection of the SmPL nest construct.

Can the construct “<+... … ...+>” become relevant here?


Would you like to consider any further software design consequences
around the safe application of the asterisk functionality in rules
for the semantic patch language?

Regards,
Markus
