Yeah, I can figure that out.
But...

That what I have saw in my nearly one year experience ;)

I will check them out, later.

I don't know Ocaml or else would've tried adding such feature.
Did you try to send a patch instead ?
Nobody is looking for ideas, you need to work it out yourself IMHO. And
Coccinelle mailing-list queries/suggestions/rants is handled by Julia
only, not sure if Michael or any past cocci reviewers are still present.
So, its difficult.

I didn't get time to look after the rule got merged, and I started
working on IIO and am still working
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#6691473790074880
Few months back I worked on a rule with help of Julia:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/1009
But somehow there was no development in that direction :(
