Sorry, but none of what you are saying makes any sense to me. Coccinele
works one function at a time. There is no reason why its behavior on
nested calls would be affected by the number of files. And no reason why
working on one file at a time would be slower than working on all of the
files at once. I'll have to try your command lines, but I probably can't
do that until tomorrow afternoon...
