The misunderstanding we seem to have might lie in
different interpretation of what's at stake.

Your code adresses a function in it's literally sence,
whereas my code adresses "top-level-form", a more
abstract thing. A "top-level-form" form BTW already
is adressed by Emacs-Lisp `end-of-defun' or
`beginning-of-defun' and I already remarked the naming
as somehow misleading therefore, but that's a matter
from the past.

Now, jumping to the beginning of a top-level-form
doesn't mean necessarily beginning of a function and
"end" must not mean end of a function, however it can.

My "end"-code expresses something like "end of last part of
code before beginning of next toplevel-form, if any, or
end of last part..."

Certainly we may discuss if that interpretation useful or not.
