Can we use the fact that functions that have their first parameter
be a nameless, artificial, paramter whose type is a pointer to
the return type? Or would this heuristics trigger in other situations?

If that doesn't work, then I am running out of ideas, and then we'll
have to start looking giving GDB insider knowledge. But I really don't
like that idea.
