D - Method display folding - #region ...

#region / #endregion so that we could use method display folding. Since D

definition in the same place, this would be very helpful.

I've just tried it, and it works a treat!

Take your best shots ...

What are you talking about?  The feature is turned off by default for C/C++
(and D, if you have it set up to pretend to be C).

Go to Tools|Options|Text Editor|C/C++|Formatting and check "Enter outlining
mode when files open".  Or just go to Edit | Outlining and mess with that.

It works on any { / } pair and on /* and */ pairs too.  Not sure what
#region / #endregion are supposed to do.  It doesn't show up in the VC.NET
help.

#region and #endregion work like {}s with respect to folding.  You can put them
around any section of code so that it folds without needing to put it into a
code block first.  It's pretty useful, and there might be a way to get the IDE
to fold user specified symbols so /+ and +/ could be added and maybe something
like /+region+/ and /+endregion+/.

I use Scite editor from the Scintilla project (http://www.scintilla.org)
wich allows display folding on any code block (braces for C-like languages
and begin/end for Pascal or Vb) so I can always fold public/private members,
function bodies an stuff.

void main()
{
}

public
{// Some block of related functions
    void some_func1() {}
    void some_func2() {}
    void some_func3() {}
}

The only feature that is still missing is the ability to surround
declarations (like in the example but without the public keyword) so maybe
the compiler should allowed braces at declaration level.
