In GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i386-debian-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2001-12-07 on raven, modified by Debian
configured using `configure i386-debian-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var/lib --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-pop=yes --with-x=yes --with-x-toolkit=athena --without-gif'

I noticed in Info mode pressing "i" to do an index search for a C
function often doesn't leave point at the right place in the node.
For example in the glibc manual, "i write" leaves point with the
mention of `write' at the top of the node, rather than the "Function"
definition part.
I think the regexp in Info-find-index-name doesn't account for a
return type with a function definition. Perhaps a looser search could
be added, per below.
