If either ClassName or doSomethingTo is long, you might be taking up too
much space on, for example, the first line of a commit message. But
you've probably already thought this through. How long are these
extended names in practice?

I've got just a few comments to add to Eli's and Stefan's, so ....

I'd be happier here if you could also check we're really in Objc with
(c-major-mode-is 'objc-mode).

Here, you might want to give a NOERROR argument to re-search-backward,
so that if implementation etc., isn't found, you can handle the error
gracefully. Something like
(if (re-search-backward "@\\(....\\)" nil t)
(progn
(c-forward-token-2)
.....)
"")

c-forward-token-2 might not be the best function, here. It moves to the
next token, but if there isn't a next token it doesn't move at all.
c-forward-over-token-and-ws might be better. Alternatively, you could
check the result of c-forward-token-2 (say, with zerop) and take special
action if the call has failed. This comment also applies to the later
uses of c-forward-token-2.
> + (let ((name ""))
I feel there ought to be a standard CC Mode function which would do the
following scanning to the {, but I can't find it at the moment.
> + (while (not (looking-at "[{;]"))
Or, (not (memq (char-after) '(?{ ?\;))), which would be minutely faster.
It would also not change the match-data if you cared about that (which
you don't, here).

Just a small point: isn't name always the empty string before this form?
If so, you could get rid of the concat and just use
buffer-substring-no-properties.

As an alternative to format, you could use (concat type "[" class " "
name "]")
, which is more direct, but probably doesn't matter here.
