Unfortunately we haven't used the match mechanism for a long time and so 
aren't able to tell you if it still works. Furthermore no one of us has 
ever tried to match template instances.

Since there is still a lot of other things to do regarding Puma I can't 
tell you when we are able to review the match mechanism. As an 
alternative you could write your own syntax tree visitor (inherited from 
CVisitor) to find the syntactical structures you are searching for.

Matthias
