I imagine that you can get more interesting software development ideas
from links to previous messages.
I hope that the desired clarification can become more constructive.

How are the chances to move such code into SmPL script files?

This view is also interesting.

But I hope that this functionality will become more helpful
if we can agree on value combinations which should be iterated
for powerful source code analysis.

Would you like to add any more advices for affected software components?
