It takes all of the comments before (up to the preceding non comment
token if any) within and after (up to the following non comment token if
any).

I'm not sure what happens at the end of a function.  I suspect that the
end of a function is the end.  The comments that are before the start of
the next function are not considered to be after the function that
precedes them.
