IMHO hideshow works well but nevertheless i agree with Jens about
the +-sign in the fringe (at least GNU Emacs calls it so... ;-)...
probably it should be possible to enhance hideshow.el so that this +
is displayed besides each method (or whatever is foldable in a buffer)
and clicking onto this + runs the appropriate commands of hideshow.el
for the related method...

I do not know the API Emacs offers for the fringe - but my assumption
is this stuff should not be too hard - gud could be a good starting-
example because displaying an arrow for the current debugging-location
is in principle nothing else then displaying a +-sign at a certain
location - the only thing i'm not sure if it is possible to make 
symbols displayed in the fringe "clickable" so a command can be 
bound to it??
