Hmm. Vim (e.g.) knows where functions start/end, but that's
because it has an intricate syntax file for the language. It
might be painful to hobble toward something workable for darcs
using only a pair of regexps ..

I use Python. Function boundaries are easy to find, but they
depend on relative indentation. Not so easy for a regexp.
