I'm dating myself a bit here, but one of the cool features of Xedit, an
editor used on IBM CP/CMS mainframes, was the ability to hide arbitrary
chunks of code while you were editing by typing XX into the gutter at
the first line, and then another XX at the last line. All of the lines
in between would then be collapsed down to two lines with a message,
e.g. "117 Lines Hidden". A nice feature when you were dealing with
large files on a display which only showed maybe 40 or 50 lines, if
that, at a time. I still sometimes find myself wanting to do this,
although not often enough to file a feature request. :-)

Oh, how I wish I could do this often. Any chance the Xcode team is
thinking along these lines?
The brace used to get a light rectangle to the right of it,
representing an expandable block of code. Double clicking on it
expanded the code, then double-clicking on the brace (I think)
re-collapsed it.
(Pardon if this has already been discussed. I just joined the list and
didn't find talk about this in the archives and it doesn't look like
this list is searchable yet.)
