I hope that such a SmPL script can be also independently used from
the other known call interface.

I suggest to think a bit more about the desired directory hierarchy.
If you would like to keep these files generally within a (sub)folder
of “scripts/coccinelle”, other solutions should be taken into account.
How do you think about to adjust the filter command?

* Which criteria should be finally chosen for automatic script execution?

* Would you like to reconsider any more consequences around collateral evolution?
