With utmost respect, this is just not true.
There's exactly one place that needs updating after adding another
field to FuncCall in the general case where the default value of the
field doesn't affect most setters of FuncCall, i.e. where the default
default is the right thing for current setters. In specific cases
where such a field might need to be set to something other than its
default value, finding calls to makeFuncCall is just as easy, and with
some tools like cscope, even easier.
Cheers,
David.
