Thanks for this detailed explanation also! My problem is that I have legacy
code (with ~1 MB source files sometimes) and I can't really imagine
anything for beginning-of-defun. E.g. C-like /*...*/ works for commenting
and whole subprograms can be commented out... In other words: I think I
should have to start parsing everytime from the beginning of the buffer...

Any idea? Or 1MB source files are not too big for this on today's PCs?

Br,
