I got concerned that you would interpret the difference statistics
of the published patches in this direction.

I propose to achieve a clear separation for SmPL scripts.
* Files which can be directly used (on their own).
* Coccicheck scripts which have got additional design requirements
  for this call interface.


Which storage locations are you going to select for these variants?
