I would actually recommend you take a look at -L option from blame.  What
I use most often and find very handy myself is this pattern:

	blame -L '/^void some_function()/,/^}/' -- path

as I do not have to count the line numbers.

There also was a discussion on allowing more than one -L to blame, which I
think is applicable to this feature.  Check the list archive for the past
few months.
