Although there is no way to specify what you have asked, Change Log
mode's C-c C-c can still be used to find quickly the particular method
that you have defined.  For example, with the ChangeLog entry:

    * swank-abcl.lisp (emacs-inspect)

typing C-c C-c repeatedly will cause Emacs to cycle through the
several definitions of the method `emacs-inspect'.  The description
following the file name and parenthesized symbol name might contain
something like:

    * swank-abcl.lisp (emacs-inspect): [o java:java-object]...other
          descriptive text...

This avoids using parentheses that confuse Change Log mode, but still
help readers quickly locate the definition that has been changed.
