I suggest to make the circumstances better known when this will be the case.

A SmPL variable can also be connected with a data type list which is
discussed here.

* Will a command-line parameter like "--include-headers-for-types"
  be needed here?

* Would it make sense to work with function name lists in SmPL constraints?


Will any fine-tuning be needed for the execution speed of the evolving
source code analysis?
