I see the software development challenge in the analysis of the
expression which is used in a condition check. Such an expression could
be constructed out of several elements.
I am still unsure on how a data type property like "volatile" can be
safely determined by the semantic patch language for each used element.
I would be able to specify a filter for a single element as you suggest.
But is the combination of some elements more interesting for the general
use case?
