I know you've written further since this email, but just to offer 
you an alternative idea, if the function definitions in the buffer 
have already been evaluated, you can retrieve the docstring using 
the "documentation" function (info "(elisp) Accessing 
Documentation"). If this is something you can use, the problem 
reduces to retrieving the list of functions from the buffer, which 
you can perhaps do with imenu's index.
