I tried to show another approach.

How does this information fit to the specification of the SmPL ellipsis
as a placeholder for the last macro parameter?

Are these metavariables required for such an use case?

Can such a transformation variant have nicer run time characteristics
in comparison to the initial SmPL script example?
