We were considering making some changes in the interaction with Coccinelle 
that would break backward compatability:

1. Currently regular expression matching is indicated by ~=.  Perl uses =~ 
so we were considering to use that instead.  It might make it more clear 
that the regular expression matches a substring rather than the whole 
identifier.

2. Currently the options have the form, eg, -no_includes.  We could change 
them to eg --no-includes.

3. The comment was made that the two names cocci(nelle) and spatch are 
confusing.  Should we more consistently use one or the other?  Which?  
(Personally I prefer cocci(nelle), because it is more consistent with the 
documentation and publications, and because I don't think spatch is 
unique.)

4.  Are there any options that should have new names?

5.  Anything else that would involve removing something?
