[scintilla] Re: comments inside blocks

   In 1.49, the fold point on line 1 folds away lines 2..4 and in the test
version it folds away only line 2. The fold point on line 5 behaves the same
under both versions.

   Python folding structure is mostly based on indentation with optional
extra folds for indented comment blocks and triple quoted strings and with
minor fiddles to make non structural lines (comments and spaces) fold
sensibly.

   Looks like the optional extra folds for comment blocks are no longer
working. Hey, [Bruce Dodson, Stephan R.A. Deibel, John Ehresman], are you
interested in fixing this - I think the dissociation of header comments is
wanted enough to allow it to break comment block folding, but it would be
good if they could both be on at once or if not that there could be an
option to choose between them.

   Scintilla treats the 'for' and 'else' both as level 0 lines because they
start in column 0. There could be an option to treat lines that start with
certain keywords (else, except, ...) as slightly more indented (say, half a
column) than they are.
