If FULL is an arbitrary expression, it would not be easy to automate.  If
it is a constant then you can use python/ocaml to analyze its value.  But
if it's a #define constant then you would need a previous rule to match the
#define and find that value.

For LITERAL, I think you could just do constant int LITERAL; for the
metavariable declaration.
