Would you like to discuss favourite sweets more than to clarify
further improvements in parsing technology also for application
together with the Coccinelle software? ;-)

This information is useful.

Why do you need to become “aggressive” there when the corresponding
data processing should be just correct?

I would like to achieve somehow that the number of presented “false positives”
will become so low so that similar (and extended) SmPL scripts can be used for
more automatic source code transformations with higher confidence.
