 The problem here is that this will also find every time that function
is called in the C files. And also anytime something called somename2
is mentioned.

 Most decent programmers editors will parse code files and construct a
little database of where all your functions are defined so you can
quickly jump to the definition of a function. In emacs this is done
with a thing called 'etags'.

 But this is now beyond the scope of R-help...
