How does this kind of feedback fit to an information like “Add identifier list metavariables for #define parameter lists” from the recent software release?

I guess that this "story" affects some general aspects. After I got a better understanding of related software dependencies, I begin to think also about further possibilities to make such a source code search pattern safer and more efficient. How much would you like to increase the support for data processing around macros with your software?

This software design aspect might look sufficient for a basic variant of the discussed source code search pattern. > But that should be fine for detecting eg if a string has only one character. I have got a few concerns for further software development considerations. How do you think about to support also an advanced interface by which it could be determined if a preprocessor symbol would correspond to such a desired character (instead of fiddling with regular expressions within a rule for the embedded programming language script)?
