Comments can only go this far. Some things are better explained from
high above, and comments like this might actually distract. (Example:
I just converted doSave() into Ruby, just to understand it better.
Most people would simply scratch their heads at the sight of a Ruby
block in file.c.)
There are a lot of functions and smaller sections of code which are
largely uncommented, so you can add a *lot* of words before becoming
a nuisance.

Folding is the only feature I put on the (sadly ignored) Roadmap;
a smart folding implementation is one the features I miss most.
However, you read the list for some time now, so you can guess that I
would prefer work on some bugs and larger architectural issues before
adding a feature bound to be as big as this.
