Just in general, I'd like to add that my experience over the years dealing with 
folks trying to do AST matchers is that the inability to express something is 
much more of a problem than matching too much, simply because the test cases 
people think of are usually small, and when running a transformation on a very 
large codebase, the cost of false negatives is significantly higher than the 
cost of false positive: the cost of a false negative means that you may produce 
something incorrect. The cost of a false positive is that you adapt your 
matcher to exclude the false negative.
