What I'd like to see in the Think C editor is the ability to 'hide'
nested code.  This would be done in a manner similar to an outline processor.
When you open up a file, each procedure is represented
by just its definition.  Double click on that, and you get something like

void foo(int bar, double *prime)
{
    int i;
    char *text;
    for (i = 0 ; text[i] != '\0' ; i++) {
    }
}

Clicking on the 'for' reveals its contents, etc.

Of course, I only want it if it can be fully configured for different 
indenting styles etc., and if it can be turned off.

I have heard that the editor which is used for Occam on transputers does this,
but I have never seen this.
