I am looking for possibilities to keep a tool like "spatch" the central
interface for the specification of desired source code changes.
I would like to avoid the patch generation for special search patterns
by various workarounds.
How many software development efforts are needed then to keep corresponding
context information (like line numbers for patch hunks) consistent?
