I understand. It is useful.
But your suggestion seems one about new basic facility of GLOBAL
beyond the issure of status line.
As you said, GLOBAL detects only start point of object.

        55 func1() {            -       <= GLOBAL know this line.
        56      int n;          ^
                                |
        .....                   Range of function
                                |
        87      return n;       v
        88 }                    -       <= GLOBAL doesn't know this line.
        89
        90
        91 func2() {                    <= GLOBAL know this line.

Please let me think about whether or not GLOBAL should treat the range of
function like cscope.

I couldn't understand. Would you please show one example?
