+              Currently,  this  means  that function names are ignored if
+              they're not followed by "(", and that declarations of char-
+              acter  arrays  aren't noted.  Thus, if you have use a vari-

+              ences  to  this ordinary variable.  This isn't the default,
+              because this  also  increases  the  likelihood  of  missing
+              important  hits;  in  particular, function names in #define
+              clauses and calls through function pointers will be missed.
