I tried ':map [[ ?{<CR>w99[{' but it only works if there is a
single function in the buffer. When inside a second function,
the mapped [[ goes to the start of the first function.
I see that there are mappings for [[ in some filetype plugins:
$VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/php.vim
$VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/python.vim
I guess I'll leave it at this for now, thanks Gary and Tim.
In some future life, tip 1530 might be enhanced so the [[ can be
customised.
