   I just downloaded the windows version of exuberant ctags 5.4.4 from
http://ctags.sourceforge.net/

   Moving to the scite/src directory and executing
ctags.exe --excmd=number --c-types=pcdgstu *.h
   yields a file in which function prototypes are included.

   It looks like 'f' means function implementation and 'p' is for
prototypes. You really only want one or the other so you don't see two
entries in the API file.

> if tagType[0] == "f":   # Excuberant Ctags Function prototype is "f".

   Just adding this confuses the script as the 'f' line will look like
void SciTEBase::StackMenuNext() {
   as contrasted with the 'p' line
void StackMenuNext();

   The script knows how to look at the second but doesn't remove the
'{' from the first. Just adding 'f' to the branch currently used for
'p' doesn't look to be a good idea to me.

   You would also need to drop the '{' if present.

   Normally the interface to a C or C++ module is defined with
function prototypes, not function implementations so I think the
current behaviour is correct although each user can modify the script
for their own circumstances.
