Folding with 'cuddled' else

[Benjamin R. Haskell]

I vastly prefer 'cuddled' 'else':

    if ($something) {
        // do one thing
    } else {
        // do another
    }

to 'uncuddled' 'else':

    if ($something) {
        // do one thing
    }
    else {
        // do another
    }

But, 'cuddled else' yields undesirable folding:

+--  5 lines: if ($something) {-----------------

Whereas 'uncuddled else' gets me the more useful:

+--  3 lines: if ($something) {-----------------
+--  3 lines: else {----------------------------

( Ideally, I'd get: )
+--  2 lines: if ($something) {-----------------
+--  3 lines: } else {--------------------------

In addition to fdm=syntax, the following settings are possibly 
applicable:

For Perl, I have:

let perl_fold = 1
let perl_fold_blocks = 1

and with PHP, I have:

let g:PHP_default_indenting = 1
let g:PHP_vintage_case_default_intent = 1
let php_folding = 2

Is there any way to do this with fdm=syntax, or do I have to switch to 
fdm=expr?
