Way back in the 1980s and very early 1990s I used a wonderful DOS text editor for writing code: MultiEdit. Not only did it have sytax highlighting and language-specific features, but it had a mode that would display only those lines beginning in column 1, hiding all the indented lines. This was exceptionally helpful in moving around large C files since I could see only the function declarations lined up below each other. I'm writing now in Python and SQL, not C, but I would really like to have this capability in emacs.
I've looked on the emacs wiki and searched the Web, but my quest has not been successful. Do any of you emacs gurus know if there's a way to get this behavior? (N.B. I don't care if vi can do this; I much prefer a page-oriented editor to a line-oriented editor. Having to write my PhD thesis in the line-oriented TDP was enough of that for me.)
