I don't know for sure. I have looked at it a bit and
it's messy code IMHO. Might be easier/better just to rewrite
the function (comment) header parsing.

Andrew also wants the short function description to be able to be
more than one line. That could/should be incorporated at the same time.

OTOH, it's a defined doc. language and these files contain errors...
