Yes, this is correct. At the moment only two levels are parsed: Toplevel
classes and functions, and class methods (ie. functions inside a class).
I thought this behaviour would satisfy most use cases. Personally, I
never use nested classes, but a lot of nested one-liner functions, which
I don't want to see in the overview. Anyway, I've put it on my to do
list, and will implement it eventually.

We should wait for code folding to be implemented, since I expect
folding at braces to be one folding method. A 'function browser' for C
would then be really easy to code (if Paolo provides python wrappers,
that is :-) )
