Looks reasonable to me. You can see the difference, for instance, with:

  git show -U1 3c73a1d

(The -U1 is because of the annoying "we will start looking for the
header at the top of context, not the top of changes" behavior I
mentioned last week).

Actually (sadly) I'll have to revise it.  It doesn't match much of C++
either, and I haven't yet come up with a reasonable regex that
matches, say,

  foo::Bar<int>::t& Baz::operator<<(

which I would call ludicrous, but it's valid C++.

Ick, yeah. Maybe it is worth doing the "*" thing for now, and then
worrying about advanced C++ stuff on top as another patch. AFAICT, your
original patch is a strict improvement.
