It's obvious that :

 By itself? Sure. Within a large very busy source file, it'll get lost in the noise. Where is the start of each function? I don't want to analyse each line!
 A week ago somebody on reddit posted a link to a C project. The source code was unusual: it was 'clean' for a start, but also each function started with:
   func ....
 Presumably that was some empty macro; I don't recall.
 But an amazing thing happened: if viewed within my editor, I could navigate between functions with PageUp and PageDown keys. That's never happened before with C.

This project:

Although it still won't let me easily search for a specific function, since there is still an arbitrary type between 'func' and the function name.
