This software limitation and current development status has got consequences
as usual.

* It would be nice if comment contents could be directly restricted also by
  the means of SmPL constraints.
  I am unsure about the chances for extensions in this area.

* The supported languages “OCaml” and “Python” offer known programming 
interfaces
  for the work with regular expressions.
  The evaluation of these regexes can trigger useful data processing.
  But I am looking for ways now to set the match result for SmPL script rules.
  How are the chances to extend Coccinelle's software library for this purpose?

Regards,
Markus
