Is this key word the only one which was added to "PQL" (while it is processed by
"SmPL" in other ways)?

Does the mentioned syntax belong to the category "context-free"?

Can this range be controlled or adjusted from within Prequel scripts anyhow?

Yes, of course.   ;-)

Is the section "6.1 Commit selection" worth for a few more clarifications?

Examples:

Would you like to share any more information around the evolving code design 
structure?
Which class libraries will eventually combine software modules?


How do you think about to use another public repository interface
which would be similar to the one for Coccinelle?
