Yes, please do try it!  It doesn't work 100% yet, but I'm trying to
persuade people that it soon will.  ;-)

That's precisely what it does.  In "foo \n   bar();", `c-found-types'
contains "foo".
(i) After you type the "(", giving "foo( \n  bar();", "foo" is removed
from `c-found-types'.
(ii) If instead you delete an "o", giving "fo \n  bar();", "foo" is
removed, being replace by "fo".
