It may be of interest to hear that a folding editor for the Atari has been for
sale for the last 1.5 year or so.  It implements folds as special lines
that start with three arbitrary characters (to comment out the line), followed
by #[ name: (beginning), #] name: (end).  This leaves all folding in the editor,
so the speed is OK (instanteneous for all operations).  A UNIX port is being
beta-tested right now, the PC port is in the same stage.

As my linker is much slower than the compiler I tend to have large files
and I cannot imagine how awful editing was without folds ...
