+  o Minor features (developer tools):
+    - Add some scripts in "scripts/coccinelle" to invoke the Coccinelle
+      semantic patching tool with the correct flags.  These flags are fairly
+      easy to forget, and these scripts should help us use Coccinelle more
+      effectively in the future. Closes ticket 31705.
+
+  o Code simplification and refactoring:
+    - Fix some parts of our code that were difficult for Coccinelle to parse.
+      Related to ticket 31705.
