As mentioned in the past, more advanced folding is something I'll  
look into for 1.3.

Very few editors implement foldings, and of those who do, many  
require some special marks in the code, like: /* {{{ */ to indicate a  
fold start marker.

Indent-based foldings is required for languages that re-use an 'end'  
keyword to end various types of blocks, where not all are foldable.  
I'm fully aware that this is not always optimal, but it works pretty  
well for 95% of the stuff out there…
