I guess that I can not append the kind of report you might be looking for
so far. This small update suggestion is just another result from one
of my evolving scripts for the semantic patch language.

It was discussed under the topic “Comparing statement lists with SmPL”
to some degree.

It did not add another jump label because it would be used only once
for this if branch (according to your enquiry).

Do you expect a second update approach for this source code place?
