I do also not want a reimplementation of "all" stuff. I stumbled on the need
to specify a function list only once in a convenient way so that it can be
easily reused at other SmPL (script) places.
Now we have started the clarification about general extensions for constraint
specifications. I hope that more mailing list readers will contribute their
opinions for a constructive discussion of corresponding open issues.
But if an appropriate syntax for declaring them could be found, it would
be
possible to allow metavariables to be inherited from previous rules.
I am very curious on the support for SmPL rule hierarchies which would
enable
reuse of common specifications.
You can already use include for this.
I find the previously mentioned functionality around the feature
"include_match" still unclear.

include has nothing to do with include_match. include allows you to
include other SmPL files. It is not python code.
