Re: cc-mode Objective C method names

These names look very odd to me (as a non-ObjC coder, I find the
brackets rather ugly and useless for example), but if they're the
"normal" way to refer to them, then I guess it's fine.

Might be best not to include it: how often do you have both a class
method and an instance method with the same name?
[ E.g. in Elisp we use the function names and variable names as is,
  without clarifying if it's a function name or a variable name.  ]

This is the code of the other Alan and I'm not very familiar with this
part of CC-mode, so don't take my opinion too seriously, but it looks
acceptable to me.

AKA
                           (c-forward-token-2 (if (looking-at "(") 2 1) t)
