That depends on your coding style and is not necessarily true.  Eg: I put
function names at the start of the line.

int
foo_bar ()
{
}

So all global functions are easily grep'able ('^foo_bar').

Same thing is also done with C++ outlined members ('^Class::foo_bar') and I
could see myself adopting the same for D aggregate methods too.
