[TxMt] Two issues with TextMates and Objective-C

[Michael Gregoire]

This:

- (id)performMethodWithLongName:(id)foo
                           and:(id)bar
{
     // ...
}


also fixes folding problems that arise when you use:

- (id)performMethodWithLongName:(id)foo
                           and:(id)bar {
                             // ...
}
