The function names are parsed by a particularly stupid algorithm at the

most definitely a start.
Stupid is sometimes good. I've noticed that the gnu diff algorithm 
sometimes won't notice changes in small structs, though they are large 
enough for the surrounding context in the unified diff not to show it 
either.
