Sorry about the late reply -- the problem with your patch is that it  
will also recognize function calls, split over multiple lines, as  
function prototypes.

For example:

     printf("%s\n",
         "Hello world");

If you checkout the WIP branch of the C/Objective-C bundles, Joachim’s  
grammar should handle multi-line prototypes quite well.
