That's ok for code that I write, but I need it most when reading heavily documented code like, say, active_record. Can anything be done to fold standard ruby comments automatically?
If not, given that this comment style is common to so many languages, would you consider implementing a solution that makes it possible?
One idea: you could implement an alternative way of specifying foldings that would address this and hopefully other situations (eg. paragraphs, lists and blockquotes in markdown). Basically what we need is a way to fold a group of consecutive lines that match a pattern, so:
foldingGroupMarker = "#"
