Disjunctions, I guess?

I guess you could make a rule that is guaranteed to match for some 
reason and put

@combined depends on a || b || c || d || e@
identifier f;
@@

f(...)

Here I match any function call, because any file of interest probably 
contains at least one.  But if possible it would be better to put a 
pattern that matches less often, because Coccinelle really will be doing 
the work of making these matches.

I think that the long list of ||s would be better.
