I don't think a well-chosen visible separator is worse off, such as "--\n".

I could live with that. To be explicit: the signature would then be of the form

   <name-of-function(...)\n--\n

The scanning function would look for "<name-of-function>(" at the front. If it found it it'd scan forwards in the docstring for ")\n--\n". If it found *that*, then it would declare success.
