But a decent "code folding" implementation would be more flexible than what is 
provided in the structure view.  It would allow folding at arbitrary points, as 
expressed through regular expressions.  This would allow (for example), the folding 
of debug if

if (debug)
{
}

and that gets folded, based on the "if.*debug regular expression. (presumably some 
kind of fold braces after match expression).

If it is done right, it is a very powerful tool in the editor.  I wouldn't want to 
polute the 
structure view with it, because I don't think the structure view is flexible enough 
for 
it, and its also inappropriate to try to hide methods in the structure view.
