Would that resolve things like?

/* this is defined in another file
function foobar_foo() {
}
*/

I doubt. Contrib modules might have such code though, especially modules 
under development (head). Also I have authored patches before with code 
like:

if (!function_exists('foobar_foo')) {
   function foobar_foo() {
     ...
   }
}

Which is even hard for the tokenizer to parse...
