Thanks for the pointer, I have figured out how to access the tags, and
have started re-writing my code to use tags instead of the current line,
and it is now able to handle multiline function definitions, however
this method seems broken as after the first comment block is inserted
any tags below the insertion no longer have a valid line number until
the application is saved.

I notice this behavior is also present in the symbol browser of Geany,
if you add some lines and try to go to a symbol using the symbol browser
it will take you to the wrong line, is there any way to force an update
of the tags after my plugin inserts the text?
