I've really been throwing out some slop lately.  It's embarrassing.

(defun my-open-complementary-file ()
  "If buffer-file-name ends in _Impl.c open .mdl and vise versa."
  (interactive)
  (cond
   ((not buffer-file-name)
    (message "Buffer is not visiting a file"))
   ((string-match "\\(\\`.*\\)\\.mdl\\'" buffer-file-name)
    (find-file (concat (match-string 1 buffer-file-name)"_Impl.c")))
   ((string-match "\\(\\`.*\\)_Impl\\.c\\'" buffer-file-name)
    (find-file (concat (match-string 1 buffer-file-name)".mdl")))
   (t (message "Buffer's filename doesn't end in .mdl or _Impl.c"))))
