There is one big problem with Visual Slickedit (at least with version
6a, I have not upgraded to version 7), it does not see 'class'
statements as 'function headings'. When you collapse a module using
'View > Function headings', if that module contains more than 1 class
(as many modules do), then there is no way to tell which class that
__init__ method belongs to.

I have reported this to MicroEdge and all they said was 'it would be
taken into consideration for a future release'. Does anyone know if
this is fixed in the current version?
