I have constructed another SmPL script variant.

It can point out that the text “ when done” occurs in comment lines before
48 function implementations which are provided by 20 source files of
the software “Linux next-20190605”.
Will this source code analysis result trigger further development efforts
around detection of unique wordings in these descriptions?
