To be clear, identification of lexical elements for highlighting and folding is
done by pieces of C++ code specific to the source language being analysed. The
C lexer is different code to the PHP lexer to the shell lexer etc. The
features and facilities that one lexer has is irrelevant to another lexer, so
the fact that the C lexer (also used for Javascript) folds on most bracket like
constructs has no implication on what the PHP lexer folds on. There is little
or no documentation on what the lexers do, but from the code PHP (and embedded
JS) only folds on `{}` and optionally comments, not any other constructs.
The lexers are from the [Lexilla](https://github.com/ScintillaOrg/lexilla)
project, to change or add features they should be added there and they will be
imported into Geany when it is updated to the relevant version.
