I demonstrated that expressions can be extracted from selected function implementations
also by the means of the semantic patch language.

Now I am looking again for further software extension possibilities.

1. I would like to sort found expressions by decreasing complexity.

2. Some expressions will probably refer to known function (or macro) calls.
   How can corresponding identifiers be replaced by previously determined source code?
