Summary: RDoc looks for doc headers at function prototypes

Initial Comment:
RDoc looks for documentation chunks at function prototypes, too.

So if you have the snippet of code below, it won't work correctly.
I expect RDoc to pick up the doc header from the implementation of the function, not from the prototype.

Here's the example code:

static VALUE some_prototype (...);

/* more code */

/*
 * call-seq: ..
 * ...
 */
static VALUE
some_prototype (actually_the_implementation)
{
   ...
}
