Your hint might be nice.

I have tried out to convert the SmPL ellipsis into the optional dot variant.

But I wonder still about the error message ?minus: parse error:?
for an adjusted SmPL script variant.

@replacement@
identifier action, var, work;
type T, X;
@@
 T work(...)
 {
 ... when any
 X* var;
 <... ... when any ...>
 var = action(...,
              sizeof(
-                    X
+                    *var
                    ),
              ...
             )
 <... ... when any ...>
 }
