That's a nice quicky and dirty solution. Works in simple cases, but
fails the "works in all cases". But a 90-percent solution is probably
enough for the task at hand, especially for software limited to
individual deployment.
However, note that it's the basic idea behind the Doxygen framework,
which does a more robust job of parsing and documenting.
