Yes, certainly.  I've worked out a patch for Mauro's failure case (with
the function's type being a pointer).

Additionally, I've found a couple of edge cases which currently aren't
working right:

    struct foo bar = {0, 0};

returns "struct foo" on C-c C-z.  It ought to return "bar";

    struct foo {int a; int b} bar = {0, 0};

also ought to return "bar".

It shouldn't be too much work to fix these two, too.  I hope to have this
done by tomorrow (European time) or, at the latest, on Sunday.
