[ESS] showing function syntax

[Jannis]

Spectacular, it works like a charm! No idea why it did not do so before 
as I restarted emacs several times.....


Thanks for your advice Stephen and Gerald! Thanks for porgramming and 
sharing this piece of code.

@Stephen: Is documentation really neccesary here? I am not sure whether 
there are more options etc. ...but even I managed to get it going (after 
some fiddling around).
