c-quick-scan: preference buffer-specific variable

Default value: 1

When display-definition scans the buffer in C mode to display the name of the current function, it assumes that a right brace character } found at the left margin marks the end of a top-level block (such as a function, class, or structure definition). If you must edit code formatted with the } of inner blocks also on the left margin, set this variable zero. (On very large files, this can make updating the function name shown on the mode line much slower.)
