+Coccinelle primarily targets ANSI C, and supports some GCC extensions.  It
+has only partial support for K\&R C.  K\&R function declarations are only
+recognized if the parameter declarations are indented.  Furthermore, the
+parameter names are subsequently considered to be type names, due to
+confusion with function prototypes, in which a name by itself is indeed the
+name of a type.
