I thought I knew what you meant, but
no longer :-) after this ``correction'' (you mean "C-c f" , right?)
For me, C-h f ess-function-outline-file
gives

and that help even explains what the file needs to contain...
For me, the file mentioned above has this content :
____________________________________________________________________________
f <- function()
{
## Purpose:
## ----------------------------------------------------------------------
## Arguments:
## ----------------------------------------------------------------------
## Author: $A$, Date: $D$
}
____________________________________________________________________________
and yes, I use this ``all the time'' and many people in our
statistics group do.
