(eieio-object-name obj)
=> "#<semanticdb-table-emacs-lisp semanticdb-table-emacs-lisp-15884632da6c>"

and it just appends whatever string you give to it after the object...

No, we probably don't care much in this particular instance, but it was
a really simple one to use as a test case.

If you otherwise think it looks like a sensible transform, I can start
doing the other ones (and some of them have better printed
representations, if I recall correctly from skimming them).
