I'm surprised by that statement. Coccinelle isn't a text matcher, it's
a proper C compiler frontend that parses the all code in the compilation
unit. Therefore it must have the type information even for s->tracks.
Disclaimer: This should in no way be considered a volunteer offer to
write cocci scripts now or at any time in the future :). I'm not fluent
in the semantic patch syntax.
