Sounds good to me.

BTW jEdit's CodeBrowser uses a TreeView to group the 'types' ctags  
emits (eg functions, subroutines, classes, defines etc). And since  
display of some of these makes more sense than others, CodeBrowser  
keeps language-dependant defaults which of those types are unfolded  
and which are folded. That seems to work well, and may be something  
to keep in mind. Also when selecting an item, it not only jumps to  
that place in the code but also unfolds any folds potentially  
associated with the symbol.

YES :-))
