Introducing a new tool or find a pre-processing solution is for sure possible
but will be more complex and less error prone.
Also as said in my mail to Julien, passing this issue of anonymous entries now
might just push the problem as we might have to solve it later if we want to
become
MISRA compliant (which is also something we are looking in FuSa).
