[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]

I see that when Emacs lisp files are parsed by semantic, the return
value of `which-function' has extra decorations. 

1. Put the below snippet in your .emacs
2. emacs -Q
3. Examine *Messages* buffer. You will see

     {declare-function}
     (find-file)

   The `{}' and `()' are what I call decorations.  

4. Comment  `load-library' line in .emacs. Restart emacs.
5. You will see

     ;; null-device
     ;; find-file


Semantic intelligently identifies the `declare-function' rightly while
Emacs naively identifies a preceding `defvar'.  (Thumbs up for semantic
parsing)

But, please clarify how to interpret the extra decorations (or remove
them if they are spurious).

If this is problematic for someone, he will report it.  So closing it.
