Well, a human wrote "tmp = tree2" -- sometimes one likes to count down 
instead of up, I guess.

We can make Coccinelle order the parameters alphabetically, but I don't 
know how to do so without duplicating most of the semantic patch.  And 
thats would result in e.g. SWAP(new_tree, old_tree), which might be odd 
as well.

I'd just leave them in whatever order they were, but that's probably 
because I'm lazy.
