-recognizes functions by seeing a non-keyword identifier at the left margin, followed by a left parenthesis, with a right parenthesis as the last character on the line.  It will recognize a multi-line header if the last character on each line but the last is a left parenthesis or comma.  These algorithms ignore whitespace and comments, except that the function name must be the first thing on the line.

+The --varargs switch is obsolete, and is recognized only for
