description="""
Write a script that aids refactoring C programs by extracting
subroutines from fragments of C code.

Do not reinvent the wheel:
wherever possible, use existing technology for the parsing and
comprehension of C code. Look at projects such as sparse and
Coccinelle.

Your script should work as a filter that puts the free
variables at the top, encloses the rest in curly braces, does
something helpful with break, continue, and return statements.

That's just a start.

This project is tagged "hard" because it's not clearly specified.
The first step (like with many projects) is to work out the
specification in more detail.
