Right now, if one of the following headers end with a '::', the kernel-doc script will do the wrong thing: description|context|returns?|notes?|examples? The real issue is with examples, as people could try to write something like: example:: /* Some C code */ and this won't be properly evaluated. So, improve the regex to not catch '\w+::' regex for the above identifiers.
