simplifying beginning-of-defun

[Andreas Roehler <andreas.roehler@online.de>]

Hi,

simplifying forms as below should ease maintenance and speed up execution.

With var `beginning-of-defun-function' its not
necessary to fix all at once at a single place: progmodes
may write their own functions and M-x
`beginning-of-defun' will work with them.

Just to present the code for the moment. If agreed so
far, I'll send a patch next days.

Cheers


Andreas
