For some languages the IDE will show info about a closing

The idea is that either a shadow comment is added or a popup
when highlighted/selected is shown over the closing bracket
which displays the first non-empty line above the opening
bracket:
statement
{
} // statement
// statement is a shadow comment(not part of the source,
grayed out a
bit, or a popup)
Helps a lot with lots of nesting and one doesn't have to
manually add them which isn't robust.
Recent versions of VS also shows similar information when
hovering the indentation guides. I've created an enhancement
request: https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19350
Thanks. It helps reduce having to write unnecessary code just to
be able to make programming easier. Reducing bloat like this goes
a long way. Providing this meta info helps.
