Will the code move from the commit description into a file
for your next patch version?

I am still curious on how the output format selection will become clearer
for the potentially desired automatic data conversion.

Would this action be performed by another software build script?

I am waiting on another constructive answer for this implementation detail.

* It can be needed for a while to specify the mentioned position variable
  at an other place.

* Would you like to adjust the SmPL coding style here?

* Will the application of sort criteria be clarified for such identifier lists?

I suggest to reconsider further aspects for such constraints.

I would find another assignment exclusion more appropriate at this place.
