This almost works:

  @@
  expression a, b;
  statement s;
  @@
  - if (oidcmp(a, b)) s
  + if (!oideq(a, b)) s

It generates this, for example:

diff -u -p a/bisect.c b/bisect.c
--- a/bisect.c
+++ b/bisect.c

which is what we want. But it also generates this:

So I really do want some way of saying "all of the block, no matter what
it is". Or of leaving it out as context.
