Bit of context: creating foldings for python programs is hideously 
difficult if you don't include extra whitespace to aid the parser.

For example:

class someClass:
   def someMethod(self, foo, bar):
     foo = bar + 1

     return foo

The function folding close marker should come after return foo, but 
there's no way to know that it should be there if you don't include 4 
spaces on that line.

So the workaround for this is to include whitespace in your code. It's 
not ideal, but doing it any other way is far from trivial.
